Bugpac said:are you decking the entire boat, Alum is the only way to go IMO, But nothing wrong with wood if the budget permits, I cant see spending the money to frame alum, and deck with wood myself, If you sheet alum it, you don't need any Structure to begin with, Have a look at my Busti'n Bass build, there is a link at the bottom. I should have it back in a few days, And will have pics of the finished product. It is a Fisher 18/60 made by Tracker of course, virtually same boat as you have probably.
i'm not decking the entire boat, but i would really like to extend the front deck to make plenty of room to fish and for storage. i would also like to build a rear deck that extends forward from the rear bench.
i checked out your link, and really like some of the ideas you have in there! i originally wanted rod lockers, but wasn't exactly sure how to do them. i'm anxious to see your finished product!
are you covering the existing front deck with a piece of aluminum or are you matching up to the existing with the extension?
