Rather than building a heavy wooden casting deck, i have a sheet of 1/8 thick aluminum i'm considering using to put a casting deck on the front of my jon boat. Here is my question:
With this being a flat bottom boat, it just doesnt seem like it would be very stable if i were to have a "deck" up almost at the top of the boat. I havent seen anyone else talk about this on their jon boats, so has anyone done this and how is the stability? I'd really like to be able to stand as i fish, but on a jon boat it just seems like itd be way to "tippy".
Thoughts?
