[QUOTE="russ010, post: 41507, member: 677"] I think if I were putting a deck on the front, I would put a piece of angle iron at the bottom of the front deck, then set a level and measure back to the 2nd rib for the length of the top decking. Also measure the distance from the floor behind that rib up to where the deck will end (distance between floor and the level). Cut that and screw it in the the rib from the front side of the boat. Then cut your deck out and screw it to the top of that plywood brace you just made, as well as to the angle iron on the front seat. If you use 3/4" ply, you should only need to put bracing in a square patter outlining your seat pedestal. I would just screw them to the ribs and then up to the floor. [/QUOTE]
