[QUOTE="Codeman, post: 94308, member: 146"] Well not near as much done this weekend as I had hoped, but I am starting to make progress. Got a little of the deck bracing cut and laid out for seat bases etc. For now I am starting with a single base in the front of the boat and I am bracing for 3 in the long run so 2 people will be able to spider rig for crappie. A few pics.

There will also be 6 vertical braces from down to one of the ribs to support the seat base braces (say that 10 times fast). Should be plenty sturdy for my big ol' butt. LOL I'd like to get everything water sealed tomorrow night and give it a few days to cure before final assembly on the frame work. Most likely there will be floor all of the way back to the front seat if you are wondering. It will be a large storage compartment when all is said and done, funny part is my wife doesn't want me to do that. She says that is where she like to sit. LOL We'll see about this one................... [/QUOTE]
