thanks for the replies guys, i think i'll be decking it with a front casting deck. i had to remove the transom unfortunately because of rot. would 2 sheets of 3/4 ply laminated together work for a transom?
As stated in the title i just bought this 16 foot semi v for $330 and was planning on decking it but i thought it'd be best to ask the advice of some people who have done this sort of thing. I measured it at 16 feet from front to back and 44 at the bottom of the middle seat and about 2 feet deep...
