[QUOTE="mikejjmay, post: 449607, member: 23447"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180402_101304.jpg"]96934._xfImport[/ATTACH] Got the casting deck cut and sized to place. The front deck frame actually sits one eighth of an inch lower then the seat due to having to go underneath the aluminum lip on the front of the seat. Therefore I was able to use a three-quarter inch casting deck and it came pretty dang close to level with the seat top due to that one eighth of an inch. Lucked out I guess. Got the deck down in the basement now soaking up the linseed oil mineral spirits and Spar Varnish mix. The cutout will be an opening door just to store life jackets underneath the deck. Good luck on your S14 build take a lot of pictures as you go just, viewing everybody else's pictures on here really helps. When you guys make triangular bow caps to mount the trolling motor on, are you mounting the wood piece on top of the Rails or so that it fits in between the rails, and supporting it with some aluminum angle or something like that?
