[QUOTE="Heynow, post: 195418, member: 5605"] My boat has been sitting in my garage for the past few weeks and I have been debating how to execute the biggest part of my project: the front deck. First, I had to decide what material(s) to use for the structure. I decided to go with a wooden structure for two main reasons: Aluminum is a bit too expensive, and wood will be easier to work with. I think my boat can afford a little added weight since it's a light model, so I’m not too worried about the wood. I’m not sure if I'm misguided there or not, but that's what I'm going with. I am going to use 2x2's for the structure. My first order of business is applying some Thompson's water sealer to them. Here's a photo for editorial purposes. There's some treated wood in there that I'll end up tossing or using for scrap if I need 'em: [img]https://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/Heynow29/2x2s.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
