[QUOTE="tripleup05, post: 177650, member: 4160"] I have a 14' Alumacraft Shallow V that I plan to put a rear deck in. It is going to be the same height as the top of the benches in the pictures below, and take up about the last 1/3 of the boat. Before deciding to do this mod, I took a piece of plywood and put it on top of the last two benches while out on the water. I walked all over it, and decided (in my opinion) it was plenty stable. I did the same thing on the front two benches, and it was significantly more prone to rocking up there. I am going to build a front "deck" but it won't be for standing on...it will be for mounting a bow mount motor and storage. I recommend you do the plywood trick before making any decisions!
