[QUOTE="rickybobbybend, post: 268355, member: 6145"] I also primarily fly fish, and a raised deck is certainly an advantage in sighting fish, enhancing your casting form, etc. But for a small hull (1244 v) I was satisfied just clearing clutter and adding covered storage. I do frequently stand up (on the floor) to cast. Plus, any boat seems deluxe when you are used to fishing from a float tube, lol. Another consideration with a small hull is adding weight. I am good for 20.5 mph (gps) with a 9.9, and I am reluctant to add much weight , then have to add horsepower, then ,,,Decking will have to wait for a larger hull; my next will be at least 16 ft. But honestly I am not in any real hurry. [/QUOTE]
