[QUOTE="amateurhour, post: 302003, member: 9425"] Vermonster those pics are definitely helpful! I do have those two angled brackets toward the front of the boat (I don't have the smiling bracket behind them though) I had originally planned to just build a wooden frame like so \_|_/ (x3 going from the back to the front, getting smaller as they go forward) to support the deck but the aluminum looks better. Did you weld that in or use rivets? Just curious. Either way something along those lines is what i had in mind. I was just going to extend from the little front seat to the second seat with a /\ shape piece of carpeted marine plywood and rig up some kind of proper support underneath and add a latch and use the area for storage, as the seat would still be where the second bench is now. On the restoration front things are going well. I've borrowed some tools from a friend and I'm picking up some of those wire brushes (not the cups) and some rustoleum self etching primer this weekend, so expect more pictures. WOO! Oh, also, no one told me how freaking expensive a 3 Gallon marine gas tank and fuel line costs. So far the cheapest ones I've found for that briggs and stratton motor are between $80 and $100 for the set. Anywhere to get that cheaper? [/QUOTE]
