[QUOTE="AZSunDevil, post: 434638, member: 22381"] I was thinking maybe some plywood flooring with outdoor carpeting adhered to it. Maybe I could screw some d-rings into the top of the flooring so I can reach in and pull it out easily? I think the most difficult part of it will be figuring out how to frame it in, measure it, and cut it correctly. I have a skilsaw but I may need to get a jigsaw or rent or borrow some other type of saw. I need to research how others have done this on here. I saw some folks framed in with aluminum pieces but that would likely be well above my skillset. For painting I'm lucky that I have a buddy who went to school at Texas State Tech for Auto Body/Painting and paints cars from time to time. He told me I could borrow some of his equipment or I could go over to his place and he'd help me do the painting. Not really sure about the color. I do a lot of upland bird hunting but have never really been into Duck Hunting. I have considered it in the past and maybe this is an opportunity to paint the boat to where it could be multi-purpose Blast & Cast. [/QUOTE]
