[QUOTE="russ010, post: 68046, member: 677"] You can do it like he did his - just be sure to add more vertical braces in places like on each side of the battery box, and then again under where you will be sitting. Be sure to use atleast 3/4" exterior plywood (non treated) for the decking. I don't know how much you weigh, but if you weigh over 350, I wouldn't deck it quite as high for stability reasons when you move from side to side and when you turn your seat to fish.. unless you always face forward when you fish, which I don't know anyone who does that. I also wouldn't deck it that high if you plan on standing to fish. I have fished with a guy in a 14x42 flat jon that was around 350, and he only decked the floor because he said he couldn't stand to fish with the decking that high - he said it made him feel like he was going to fall out because he couldn't put enough weight in the back to balance him out being in the front. Just something to think about. You could always "test" it with it built up, then if it's not stable drop it back down [/QUOTE]
