[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 268316, member: 5461"] Welcome :beer: Agreed, check out the projects and search for basstracker. Lots and lots of great ideas. But for starters, 1/2" is pretty thin for a deck .... I'd plan on 3/4". Also, don't rule out using aluminum instead of wood. The basstrackers have very good aluminum structure underneath the decks that make laying down some sheet aluminum very easy. When you tear everything out, it looks like this: You can see how easy it would be to just rivet down some sheet aluminum .... and never have to worry about rotting wood ever again!
