My front deck came out so well that I decided I would like to put one over the rear bench as well.
This deck will not be for standing on and fishing, more for aesthetics and I will add a couple hatch doors so the area behind the rear bench can be used as secure storage.
I'd also like to keep my gas tank under the deck and out of the way, but had some concerns about fumes building up in there. Is that a valid concern?
The rear bench seat (which the deck will go on top of) does not go all the way to the floor, there is 3-4" of space there. That will provide some ventilation. There will also be notches cut near the transom for fuel lines and wiring that will provide some ventilation as well.
