Hi everyone,
First boat renovation for me and I'm looking to install a small rear casting deck. I haven't been able to come up with a standout approach on my own, so I thought I would see if any other eyes/minds had input.
Right now I think I'm going to frame the transom to be supported by the floor (I think the shape of the transom makes it a bit difficult to secure directly). But I've been trying to decide whether to secure a 2x4 to the aluminum framing of the seat, or frame that to be supported from the floor as well....? Cross bracing and 1/2 inch plywood.
I'm hoping to keep the deck low, and I like the idea of keeping the aluminum from for the seat visible (for now) because there are other bits of it throughout the boat. Any input would be appreciated. Pictures below
Thanks
Tyler
