[QUOTE="thill, post: 499448, member: 4972"] It rained most of the day today, so I hope to get back to welding and laying the new decking tomorrow. Something I just discovered is that what I thought was Tyvek that had been under the floor plywood was actually just white plastic tarp. I like the fact that the foam beneath was nice and dry, so I'm going to replace it before screwing down the floor. I'm rying to decide whether I want to put a hatch over the in-floor locker or just leave it solid. More storage is always great, but a nice tight floor may be more important. There will be a lot of storage in the front deck area, so it may not be a big deal. I'm considering adding a back deck to the boat, similar to my Princecraft. In the front deck area, my plan is to leave the current U-shaped configuration, but make a drop-in insert to change the front into a completely flat platform, like a bass boat with a mount for a pedestal seat. I did this in a boat in the past, and it worked very well. I never took it out, once I put it in, but it's nice having the option. [/QUOTE]
