[QUOTE="bassnbrian, post: 116056, member: 1743"] Started work on my 16'. Changed the plans to the below Decided to remove only one seat and will install support to compensate for removal. heres the pics of recent work. My carpentry skills are obviously pretty poor, but everything so far is extremely sturdy and hopefully carpet will cover up my lack of skill. I am going for an extremely simple build using the existing seats(except for one) as base and support. While this limits my capactity for storage. It makes sense for my skill level. Everything will be easy to remove and reinstall in case I want to do thing differently in the future. this will be the floor of the storage below the front deck. Decking will be equal level with existing benches using the 1" thick plywood deck left by previous owner. You can see it in the first pic. He supported the plywood with 2 long aluminum L shaped braced drilled into the seats. I will do the same but raise the decking up to seat level. Fished alot with the boat in some choppy conditions and it is very stable even when standing on seats so the decking should work fine at that level. need to make some small doors for storage here. Going to store the battery underneath the seat as was shown in another mod (the minnow bucket...thanks for the idea =). This storage here will be used primarily for an anchor. And another layer of thin plywood wil be added. [/QUOTE]
