[QUOTE="jojo, post: 450266, member: 2788"] A lot of modified V's are like that by design, including mine. I am currently rebuilding my deck, and am doing it a little different than I did the first time. The first time I built it, I made the plywood section where the bow platform meets a little lower to make up for this height difference. Though, my boat has much less than 1.5" difference. It was still not level though and had the forward slope. I added a picture below where you can see this. This time around, I am making it flush. I think most people overthink the whole "level" thing in a jon boat. My deck will slope up a little toward the front. Though, when I am up front standing on it running the trolling motor, the whole boat will be tilted more forward making my deck more level than if it was level. Wait? What? Huh?!?! You could also run some 2x2's on the bench seat to raise it up, making it close to the bow platform height. Just don't overthink the "level" part so much. It doesn't have to be perfect. [/QUOTE]
