[QUOTE="Hustler16, post: 407821, member: 20692"] Once I felt I was able to start doing things, one of the first things that had to happen was move the deck up. I used the same rails that the previous deck was on, and popped all the riots. This was done mainly to not have to try to bend aluminum in the same that was required. Although its tough to see you can see on the left side of the picture where the rail had been moved up.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20151025_154916.jpg"]82705._xfImport[/ATTACH] The very front of the boat is being left as is and the newly raise supports on the side will meet up to the bottom of the bend, of the deck that I left up front, which will make more since when I can post pictures of the front deck closer to completion. Also in this picture you can see where the live well was mounted through the hull on the right side. I still have not figured out how I was going to plug that. but I decided to scrap the old metal live well and will replace it with a plastic insert you can buy almost any marine outfitter. The entire mid section to the back of the boat is capped and is very sold and foam filled. I knew right away that was going to stay, and I would build around it. so you can see in the front where the boat is naked and only the supporting ribs are left uncapped after the rail was raised.
