[QUOTE="ebcbob, post: 138588, member: 2710"] You can see my deck job at https://www.electric-bass.org Nav. menu then click on "fully rigged EBC boat". One note, if I fish in the rain or it gets wet....I dry it out at first chance.... I framed in for the deck with pine 2x2's but also painted them with the same high grade exterior paint. You can see that in one of the pics. The frame is placed where the vertical pcs. rest on the ribs for support and not on the hull of the boat. I did use an exterior grade glue for the carpet. Like I said, Its going on 4 years and everything is still good and sound. One little note, an easy and cheap way to open and close hatches.....get a short pc. of vinyl or marine rope. Drill a small hole in the hatch in a proper location for lifting the hatch....the hole slightly larger than the rope.......knot one end of the rope so in cannot pass though the hole.....insert the un-knotted end of the rope in the hole........tie another knot on the un-knotted end......And you have a nice and cheap pull for the hatch.....works great and the only thing on top of the deck is a small knot that you can grab to open the hatch when needed. The rope pc. ends up being only about 3 to 4 inches long. [/QUOTE]
