[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 233204, member: 6937"] Not really. I know what the design looks like in my head, so, I'll try to explain it. It's similar to the inner hull you would see in a johnboat, but instead of attaching to the factory ribs across the floor, you need to use some 2x4" rectangular aluminum tube, with a thin wall, to raise the deck level up above the waterline. Simply attach them to the existing factory ribs across the floor, with the ends of the rect. tube angle cut so they butt right up to the inside edge of the gunwale ribs. Fabricate and install the inner deck by riveting or screwing it to the ribs along the floor, and along the gunwales. You then separate this inner hull from the bilge/stern area, by properly sealing at the rear bench seat, engine compartment, etc. And then at each rear corner of the inner deck, you install your scuppers.
