[QUOTE="cobrastrike, post: 16753, member: 214"] As far as decking, I'm going to have angled aluminum bracing and either 3/4" PT ply or (2) 1/2" PT ply pieces mended together for the deck. I figured that adding a little weight to it won't hurt, but I don't want to over-do it. I've only had the boat a few months so I haven't fished out of it much (only 2 trips), and both of those were solo trips. At most, I'll have one extra passenger with me. As far as motors, the trolling motor up front will be foot controlled and I'll have an 18hp in the rear. I've only taken the boat to Sinclair so I haven't experienced stability with a lot of big boats passing by, but I doubt that I will go too many places where there's heavy traffic. When I took the boat out last time, it was a little windy. I'm hoping that with the addition of the deck and the added weight, the boat won't be as easily moved by a wind gust, but this could be wishful thinking....any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
