[QUOTE="clemmy, post: 474827, member: 2315"] Hello, I’m planning out modifying my 1236 Lowe. It will be a while until I can really get a start as I need to add float pods and get a trailer, as well as a 5-6 hp motor. I’m a big guy, so want to move as much weight as possible up front. (I know it’s a small boat, but it has a surprise that I’ll reveal when I start my build page, just go with it for now :wink: ) The boat will be used for night fishing, so I want a flat subfloor. No decking (Due to boat size) except at very front On top of which will go a trolling motor mount, lights, anchormate, and a couple rod holders, and below I hope to put a battery, a charger and gas tank. My question is that this front portion has a sloped bottom, and I’m hoping for ideas on how to secure the battery and tank. The boat layout is this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="7CD1C445-0258-403A-9782-626FF2661943.jpeg"]105983._xfImport[/ATTACH] The front deck areas will be at gunnel height (remember NOT planned for sitting/standing), and I don’t want it to extend any further than the first rib. Past that will be subfloor. My problem is that this entire area is sloped. Thanks for any help, Craig Dover, FL [/QUOTE]
