[QUOTE="salexander, post: 37387, member: 615"] Hi guys. I stumbled on this site a month or so ago and it has provided some valuable information! Thanks for that! I am working on a mod for my 14' V hull. It has the standard 3 tank seats now, and I want to deck across the middle seat to the front for a casting deck. I spent a little money getting the old 9.9 Johnson on it running, so my budget is not so big. I have looked over some pretty intense designs for the deck framing systems on here. I wanted to do the least amount of drilling and whatnot as possible so I have come up with this idea - I will use 2x4's laid flat (not vertical like on your deck) across the middle and front tank seat to the front of the boat. We orig. wanted to do a system similar to how you would build a deck between the tank seats, but I need a little more height below the deck for my livewell. Has anyone experimeted with this type of framing? It seems very easy and there is minimal connections to drill as there would be putting the framing system flush with the top of the seats and running boards between them? ALSO - I am not in the market to purchase marine grade plywood. What is the next best thing to use that will not break my wallet? I can seal 3 sides of this wood and will be carpeting - but I really can't spring for the premium wood. Thanks for your help. I will work on getting some pics up. [/QUOTE]
