[QUOTE="pmshoemaker, post: 435854, member: 22228"] Here's a shot of the boat from the front along with my first proposal. There are two "boxes" between the forward and rear benches. They are riveted to the sides and don't come all the way down to the floor -- they are full of old, crumbly foam and I assume are just there to add boyancy? Should I not modify these? They don't seem to add anything to the structural integrity of the boat, but I'll wait and hear what you guys have to say. The only reason I might want to remove them is that they prevent me from putting a rod locker there -- I could cut a big hole in one of them to allow rods to pass through I guess. I just don't want to start sawing willy-nilly. Would love to hear any feedback -- step one is going to be dealing with the transom -- but I can't draw diagrams of that while I should be working lol. Of course, all of this decking is contingent on getting this into the water and making sure it's stable enough for all this. When the Maryland DNR decides to send my registration sticker back, we'll see how that goes. [/QUOTE]
