[QUOTE="surfman, post: 406405, member: 7404"] 3/4 ply is way overkill, 1/2 is plenty usually unless there is inadequate bracing, aluminum decking is lighter still. I would use aluminum bracing at least for framing, the wood really isn't that heavy if you stick with 1/2". I only have one group 27 battery that I use for my hand controlled trolling motor, it lasts 2 days. it won't throw you out of the boat but usually is plenty for fishing. [/QUOTE]
