[QUOTE="derekdiruz, post: 437058, member: 16025"] This was the month for the extra paycheck, so I decided to tear down and begin the build.... again. The pictures below aren't in proper order, however, you can see what I've done. I took off the carpet, removed the carpet glue, and added a small pod style hatch. The rear deck is now done besides making the hatch lid. I really like this format though, because I love having the huge open floor plan. Also, I guess if I'd like to "sight-fish" from the deck, I can still do so. Though, I usually bring my rtic 45 and I prefer to stand on that instead. Lol. The front deck will be a low deck, only about 30 inches long. I wasn't going to add a deck, but the curve of the hull would make this space virtually useless without it. This will be entirely foamed in. The trolling motor will mount though on the top of the gunnels, where a deck about 12" will extend. I figure I can use this space to stow crap below, and it'll make removing the TM very easy for hunting season. I expect to have everything done with the aluminum work (minus maybe the floor) by this weekend. I'm using 0.063 aluminum diamond plate for the front deck & floor. The weight from this deck, with framing, combined with the rear deck, will be less than that of the original benches. By my calculations, even with the floor in, I'll only be adding 27 lbs! [/QUOTE]
