[QUOTE="grizzly, post: 75140, member: 1151"] i'll post them this weekend. i wanted my deck to run across the tops of front and middle seats, so i put the cross beams on the side of the seats with their tops 1 1/2 inches below the seat top, then ran other 2x2s on top of those between the seats, running fore and aft, the seats carry all the weight that way and my deck rests on top of the benches, used half inch birch plywood and it is solid as concrete and very light. also have hatches cut into the deck and does not flex at all. i know its hard to picture without photos so i will be sure to post them, i dont have internet at home so have to do it at work. i also decked from rear bench back to the transom, and put in a lower, flat floor between middle and rear bench. best bet is to spend a whole lotta time thinking it through, and consider all options, i had lots of plans on paper and had to make lots of changes as i went. that is one great thing about this site, seeing all your options and adapting your own. everyone is friendly too so just keep asking questions.
