[QUOTE="richg99, post: 400406, member: 4376"] re "too heavy"...I did that once. Built a full stern deck for a 16 ft. El Pescador. The El Pescador was kind of underpowered (40 hp Suzuki 2-cycle) in the first place. That boat was also built too skinny since it sported a tunnel hull. My heavy 2x6 and plywood decking overwhelmed the poor little thing. The only good thing was that I didn't fasten the deck down until after I sea-trialed it. I was able to pull it off; set it next to my van, and go fishing. I dismembered it as soon as I got it back home. There are probably very few dumb boating things that I haven't done, once or twice.... richg99 [/QUOTE]
