Nice job, well thought out project !
Casting deck: The casting deck was built by a prior owner using 2x4 framing lumber. It was solid still, so I didn't pull it. I only put the new deck on the top.Great build and I'm looking to do the same. Have you (or any of the readers) had any issues with the wooden frame of the casting deck and/or floors? My concern is I can't get any of the angles just right so there's likely several spots where the weight is carried by a small surface area (ie: ends of 2x4). Any tips to get it right are welcome!

I've had good luck in some instances using spray adhesive or PSA backed sandpaper. Stick to hull and after cutting close to fit, sand against the hull itself to fine tune. I've done that a few times to match complex curves.Hand fit? Grinder with sanding pad?
Make a cardboard template first, then grind/sand the wood to fit. Use paint as "bluing" to locate high spots.
Good luck with your project.
