[QUOTE="-CN-, post: 426256, member: 18939"] What I used for the deck is 1/2 cdx plywood sealed with Helmsman spar urethane (if I did it again, I would use 3/8" to reduce weight, as it already sits on a solid platform. I would just reinforce the bottom side of the hatches so that the could be stood on.) I did the front and rear decks at the same time but I'm just gonna show you the rear one right now. The front one took more work. I test-fitted the plywood, leaving a 1/8" gap on the sides and back for the carpet that I would add. On one side of the motor, I left a larger gap at the rear for my motor cable and possible future addition of a fuel line. [img]https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/clintonnaef/Mobile%20Uploads/20151025_150050_zps1dldylgx.jpg[/img] I then measured for the hatches and cut them out with a jig saw.
