I have a Lowe 1448 Big Jon. I want to re-floor the front area but am having some trouble coming up with a design. As you can see form the photo, I bought it with a full deck. My 1st mod was to remove the full deck raise it, but shorten it to leave about 16 inches of "leg Room". I also made a hatch for storage. I have decided now I do not want a raised deck or if I do, then as low as possible to the floor as I Duck hunt out of this boat. I would like to keep the opening under the bow deck for access and storage. Also I do not want to extend the bow platform. I am going to use aluminum as the flooring. I may also remove the front bow seat base and move it to the floor.

I have reviewed the Mod site and while I see some ideas, most are flat botoms or use a raised deck. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.002.JPG

Have a sheet bent to match the angle of the ribs. I think Bugpac did it on his newest rig.
