[QUOTE="weezer71, post: 147176, member: 3531"] Hi! This is my first post and have been looking at this site for about a month or two after I discovered it. I really love this site! Got alot of info and ideas on making modifications to my 10' SeaMaid jon boat. I know that weight is an issue for a boat of this size, so I wanted to make flooring, seat mounts and storage area that were lighter in weight and removable. I would like to be able to take this boat on the river at times, so that is the reason for the "removable" part. I used 1" X 4" bracing for the front deck with 3/8" ply wood that I treated with water seal. Not alot of room up to the gunwhale, so I had to keep the deck as low as possible. This is NOT a casting deck, just something to keep a seat on and some storage underneath. Next the benches I used the same plywood, but used 1" X 2" wood. The flooring is just the same ply with 1" foam sheeting glued to the plywood with space for the bottom bracing. Anyway, this will get me through until I decide that I want a bigger boat and then maybe I'll have another OCD modification fit with it too! This project was fun(and my first ever attempt)! It isn't fancy at all, but I feel made a difference. Please let me know your opinions/feedback. Thanks! :) Scott P.
