[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 388862, member: 13702"] That's a pretty unique steering console - is that something your grandfather put together himself? Only thing I see is your deck level is going to be quite high off the floor. You mentioned you'll be using this on relatively small water bodies, so it might not be an issue. V hull boats are less stable when you stand on them then their flat bottomed counterparts, so you might want to lay those support 2x4's on their face rather than sides and lower the profile of the final deck. Also, dunno what your budget is, but if you can afford to use aluminum rather than wood it will save you a lot of weight. [/QUOTE]
