[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 194314, member: 5151"] Thanks. With our schedules the weekends are the only time that we can really get anything done on a project so on to the decking installation. I might not have put carpeting on all the seat surfaces if I were still up north, but our experience since we have been in the south is that you can fry eggs on bare metal in the summer, so all the surfaces were carpeted. Used all stainless screws. I wanted to keep the boat as simple and light as I could. The front lower deck was a bit tricky to follow the contour of the boat. I had the choice of either raising the deck a few inches and keeping it level, or keeping it it low and contoured. Since my wife will be fishing out of the middle seat it was her choice. We got about 18 inches of storage in the bow deck extension. [/QUOTE]
