deck project

hello everyone i have a question about modifying a boat. i have a older version coleman crawdad that i want to put a wooden deck on but i dont have any idea how. i;ve seen all of your guys boats on this website and it seems you all know what your doing. its 45 inches wide and 12 feet long if you have any ideas it would help thanks

What is the width across the inside of the bottom?This is the only crawdad that I know of on here https://tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1470&hilit=crawdad I haven't ever seen one besides the net.

thats the same boat as mine i think it looks the same. the width of the bottom is between 35 to 36 inches

It maybe stable enough to deck with a 36 inch bottom.I'm not sure how it would be done in a poly boat.I wouldn't deck it but about half way up.To high and it could be come unstable.
