[QUOTE="bobt, post: 202065, member: 4067"] Another approach to make a simple deck that is easily removable, rather than just open, to minimize any issues with clearance for motor, wiring, hoses,etc.. Use the aluminum angle supports mounted on the seat and the transom. Use the 1/4" plate or whatever wood you chose that would be strong enough to handle the span. This concept would work regardless of how you choose to frame or support the back deck. Rather than put hinges to hold and open the back deck, mount a a pair of simple tabs on the rear underside of the deck plate to slide under the rear alum angle support. This could be as simple as a bolt through the deck with a spacer, fender washer and locknut underneath the plate. Then use a pair of slam or twist handle latches on the front edge of the deck that will hook under the front support alum angle. The latches make the deck easily removable without any tools. [/QUOTE]
