[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 240823, member: 4585"] Also...a piece of 3/4 ply cut to the right size, sealed with spar urethane and painted rustoleum OD green will sit flush on the little lips of the rear deck covering the gas tank and making the rear deck more usable. dont run it all the way to the transom though. You want to leave a little room for fuel lines and fumes to escape. I did this on my Alumacraft 1542 with a similar rear bilge area. You can use self adhesive velcro to hold it down on the little ledges. Sticky side on the boat and furry side on the board. It will stay down while towing at highway speeds and it will be easy to access when you need to get to fuel tank or the plug. No need to cut or screw into your new boat if you don't need too.
