[QUOTE="santander, post: 21693, member: 280"] i supported the deck with 2 2x4's that are braced into the front and middle seat. It is actually very sturdy. The deck is a little less than a 1/2 inch thick but i covered it with fiberglass for extra strenght and to water proof it. For flats fishing you want the least amount of weight added possible becasue it will effect your draft. I weigh 150 lbs and can fish me and a friend up on the deck. I prefer fishing by myself because with 2 people you really have to coordinate your movements. The cooler is more of a baitwell because all it has in it is airator. I always have a bucket on board so i fill it with that and then drain it with the coolers drain plug witch eventually flows out the back of the boat. This set up keeps mullet and shrmp alive for as long as i'm out fishing. The boat will float in 6 inches or less when i'm on the front deck and thats where i pole the flats from. thanks [/QUOTE]
