[QUOTE="mtntop, post: 434458, member: 21789"] Thanks for the insight Dale, I appreciate it. I live in Colorado now and want to chase Pike and Carp with a flyrod. I hear it is a blast, just like catching reds or snook on a flyrod! I used 1/2 inch ABX 5 ply plywood and 'extended' the existing bulkheads in order to elevate the front casting deck. I attached 2x2 1/8 aluminum angle to the tops which will secure the decks. I did not elevate the front deck any higher because the bow is a v hull and much less stable than the stern. I felt this was a good tradeoff and will keep the wind off the flyline when it laying on the deck while casting. [ATTACH type="full" alt="bulkheads.jpg"]92064._xfImport[/ATTACH] The deck is also 1/2 inch abx 5 ply and is dry fitted here, and eventually its color will be blended with the light blue up the sides with a sponge to mimic a camo look which will break up the reflected light. I built a hatch in the bow which will be used as an anchor locker. The center area will remain low and I will place a mounted seat here for the wife or daughter. The stern was framed in w 2x2 1/8 aluminum as well to create a sitting area while running and a casting deck and it will have a LOT of dry storage underneath. I decided I don't like the way the fuel and electric lines are set. I will split them on each side of the keel in their own PVC tubes for easy maintenance later.
