[QUOTE="taterosu, post: 202623, member: 5203"] Im in the process of completing my first build now. What I used for foam under my deck is just the sheet of builders foam from lowes. I bought the 3/4 in foam with the silver backing on it I put a very low deck in middle section on mine. The ribs are the support for my floor runners. it took two layers of the foam to fill in the gap between the boat and the deck. i would think you could make some storage under the seats fairly easy like you are talking about. As far as the pedstal seat, I would say just be careful not get the seats up too high or it may make the boat top heavy on the water. I cut my bench seats done so the pedstal wouldnt be too high up. Then reinforced it to make seats sturdy. I built all of mine out of aluminium to cut down on weight and it should last forever that way. It added alot to the cost but I think it will pay off in the long run. [/QUOTE]
