[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 384608, member: 9169"] I extended my bow deck back about 18" and added a frame with 3 hatches for storage. I also added a floor the length of my hull. All with 1/8" aluminum sheet and riveted to pieces of aluminum angle and the ribs on my floor. The angle supports are rivet to the hull/gunwale with solid rivets. My sheet is attached with blind rivets. Haven't had a single rivet come loose in almost 2 years. We use my boat pretty hard, especially during duck season. Now I have had a few rivet heads break off on my bow deck, but those were the factory Tracker rivets installed in '96. [/QUOTE]
