I am the new kid on the block, I am hoping to do a few things to my small boat, the first will be a trolling motor bow deck, I see from some of the pictures some guys lay the wood on top of the curl of the boat, Are screws run into the curl to hold the wood piece in place??. I was told to install a cross member under this also, I am going to use 3/4 plywood and it may be around 2 ft. long.Also a plate under the mount of the motor Enough room to install my bow motor light and anchor mate. I see others just frame out. I also see wood going down on the floor of the boat. I am wondering how the wood is fastened to the boat. I may just put 2 Small decks by each bench. I will also have to install wood on top of the bench's , Do you run the screws right into the top of the bench?? I see plenty of pictures but I need some more detail. I am going to cover all the wood with Marine carpet. The boat is rated for only 2 people so I am also afraid to get it too heavy for the water. I will post a couple of pictures here soon. I am a disabled Vet and I do things when I feel good, so my chores take twice as long to do. Thanks for listening and I hope I will be able to help some future members as I learn
