I just bought a 16' extrawide Polarkraft with a Yamaha 9.9 four stroke. Got the 9.9 due to size restrictions in local lakes. I am going to put a deck on the front and back and add a livewell. What is the best way to go about adding the deck? I was thinking about using aluminum angle, but am second guessing that due to cost. My idea is to have a rod locker and several compartments in the front section between the front bench and the front of the boat. At the back I'm just planning on covering the area between the back bench and the transom to house the gas tank and possibly the battery(ies). In the front of the back bench I am planning to add the livewell and just build the deck around it. Obviously I have a lot to think about, just looking for a little input from the pros. Also, will there be too much wait in the back if I put the livewell in front of the back bench with the tank and batteries in the very back? Should I move the batteries to the front?
