[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 161215, member: 1523"] I guess it depends on your priorities. What's most important to you, lightweight, comfortable, fishable? What and how are you fishing? What I would consider is a 1.5" x.125" angle 'T' structure on top of each existing rib and deck it with .080" for low decks between the bench seats. If you're clever you could screw it all together as a unit and remove it to clean the hull or fix leaks down the road. Figure some angle riveted into the bench seats could be your attaching point for the deck structure. I'd also frame in the front at seat height and do a simple deck with some storage underneight. Keep it simple and always plan for taking it back apart to fix something. Jamie [/QUOTE]
