[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 234187, member: 6334"] Hi BadMan, Sounds like a good plan for the decking. I would leave the floor loose, but attach angle alum strips/clamps to the bottom of the seat supports to hold the floor in in case of swamping. This would allow for access by removing the clamps. Pressure treated wood is a not a choice because the copper will pit the Aluminum where it's in contact. Practically any hard wood will work if sealed against moisture. One last thought, WEIGHT is NOT your friend in a small boat. The smaller the boat, the more critical the issue. Wood, fasteners, gear, batteries & trolling motor all add up, so keep an eye out. Nice work, keep the pics coming, and welcome to Tin Boats....Jerry :) [/QUOTE]
