[QUOTE="ILRiverRat, post: 320907, member: 5860"] Gonna reply to my own post (since nobody else has) :cry: but after reading a ton of info on here - I think it'd be a bad idea to try and deck this rig. I think I'll just put some good plywood on top of the benches (for strength) and bolt swivel seats to it (to have a back rest). Maybe put in a light weight floor, with foam under it. Questions for the forum... Any experience with trying to glue the carpet right to the hull? Seems like that'd be a mistake if I have to have the hull repaired (which is likely with this rig) Any thoughts on building a 'shell' of wood to slip OVER the benches to both raise it slightly and give it strength? And finally - other than cutting the rivets to remove the benches and re-installing them, any thoughts on how to get foam back up under the benches? THe stuff that is there is a mess... I'd like to replace it. I can offset the loss a little bit with foam under the floor but I was wondering about spraying in the expandable foam or something like that... I do think my number one priority is in keeping the CoG low and keeping it light... thanks all.. [/QUOTE]
