Personnally, I would leave the structure of that boat alone. There is nothing wrong with your boat the way it is. The boat looks very good and very water ready. Summer's comin'... If you start messin' around with it too much, There is a chance that things will come loose(rivets ect).
Spent your time and money on better things. There are some really nice decked and floored boats on here, but, I think some people get carried away a bit. Sort of like trying to please or keep up with others. It's almost become a competition on who can out do the other guy. It seems almost ridiculous. You want a deck boat/bass boat. Go buy one. Most boats were designed the way they are for a very good reason, why mess with it. I think it de-values a boat in certain cases. I personally wouldn't consider buying a boat that looked like it was home made, beacause you don't know what's underneath it all....
Please don't take any offence, It's just my opinion.... :roll:
