[QUOTE="crabbingdan, post: 419140, member: 15710"] Next I got started on the framing for the front deck. I used mostly 1.5" inch aluminum angle and all stainless steel hardware. The plan was to create a deck that sits just under the gunwales. Not so much for casting or fishing from, but for cooler, anchor, fender, and gear storage. I formed two pieces of angle to fit the curves of the bow and bolted them to the sides at the height I wanted the deck. This would provide support for all the cross pieces and eventually the wood decking that covers it. I framed in a rectangular opening for an eventual hatch for cooler access. Also framed in braces for the plywood floor for the cooler to sit on. [/QUOTE]
