[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 18292, member: 186"] Well, I've made some progress on my boat. I have the three sections of floor installed and have the framing completed for the front seat section. The front seat area is where my batteries will be stored. [img]https://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/ouachita_photos/2-23-2008255.jpg[/img] [img]https://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/ouachita_photos/2-23-2008256.jpg[/img] I will also have 3-1/2" storage areas on top of the bench seats. After adding the height to the bench seats I will still have 5" to the top of the rail. This will make seating more comfortable for us big guys so our knees aren't in our chest. I left the original carpet on the bench seat. It was in ok shape and will serve as a nice bottom for the storage areas, insulate the aluminum from the galvanized strong-tie braces and most important I didn't have to scrape carpet glue. [img]https://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/ouachita_photos/2-23-2008257.jpg[/img] I am going to tackle the framing for the rear bench next before I add decking. [/QUOTE]
