[QUOTE="trippingbilly, post: 129403, member: 2277"] I attached the front deck by first putting some 1x6 on the bench seat itself in the center so that the seat bases would be solid. (I attached those using toggle bolts). I cut the deck so that it would fit fairly snug against the sides of the boat so that when I carpted it, it would be tight. I ran 1x1s at an angle on each side of the deck and those are also secured using self tapping screws. Basically, the deck is held in place via the bench. One other thing I did was to put an aluminum L bar under the nose of the decking that runs along the side and is wedged between a rib on the boat and the bottom of the deck. I did this so their would be no flex and it works great. That deck is solid and can hold me (195lbs) comfortably. hope this helps, good luck. [/QUOTE]
