[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 251792, member: 6982"] Progress pics...can't afford carpet right now but I am fine with the look of a wood deck right now. Used my leftover oak plywood to make a front deck and storage areas. Went really light with framing and it turned out fine - I used a mix of aluminum angle, 2x2 and 1x2. Seems plenty strong so far. I am pretty low on tools so cutting and figuring it all out was fun...when it comes down to it I am happy. She isn't a show room boat, and I never intended her to be...she's a fishing boat. Put some eyebolts in the front to hold my cooler up there and also a couple behind the middle bench for holding tackle or whatever with bungees. Still have to make the hatch for the anchor storage area...just poking away at it bit by bit now. Small things. [/QUOTE]
