[QUOTE="WISHBONE, post: 143239, member: 3407"] You guys are on top of it very smart. Yes this boat will be toting the kids and Momma. By doing it this way we shaved off around 60 lbs from doing the foundational work route needed for the 3/4" ply to work effectively. As you can see from the pictures there is only one 2X4 up at the bow for structural reasons, but other then that all you have is the sheet of plywood laying on the deck. Compared to our canoe which was half the width and same length, it was really tipsy for the family for sure. But if you look in the middle where there will not be a deck, I am going to have a bench seat that allows the kids to be below the waterline bringing the weight of the keel line lower in the water. I have some other things left to fabricate and build but I dont want to spill the beans as to what I am doing yet. There is just something about pictures that seems to gain the attention over words. Once we have the boat set up the next part of the project is the trailer/rack mount on my pop up that you see in the background. So I will be doing the same right up and pictures for that phase of the project. Stay tuned my fellow shipmates this fabricator is about to kick it up acouple of notches. [/QUOTE]
