[QUOTE="Colorado1135, post: 387620, member: 18449"] well I got my 1.25" aluminum angle, 1/2" of CDX exterior plywood and am ready to start on putting the deck in today. I even have the roll of carpet ready to put in, along with the necessary adhesive. one quick question, how to I make the deck on the same plane as the boat. so that when it's floating in the water the deck is level? do I measure from the gunwales or put a 2x4 across the seats and go from that? I'll be taking pics as I go and will update the thread. any last minute advice would be appreciated :) Here's my plan. #6 I might do at anytime depending on the help and how patient they can be. 1. I'm going to the local Ace to see if they have any epoxy resin to seal the plywood 2. going to probuild to get foam board to put under the deck between supports 3. cut plywood to fit 4. seal plywood and set aside to dry 5 install aluminum braces. 6. take kids fishing [/QUOTE]
