Hey guys, new to the forum, and new to jon boats. I have a 14' Alumacraft that i plan on decking the front of to fish off of. Ive seen some builds on here using aluminum framing to keep the weight down, and thats the way i plan on going about to frame it, ive got a source of free 1.5" square tube where i work. I really dont want to deal with the problems that go along with wood decking and carpeting. I can probably get a sheet of 1/8" thick aluminum plate for the deck, but being as how i'm sure that it will not only be slick as goose poop, but get hot as well, what have any of you that have done this painted/coated it with?
