[QUOTE="jtf, post: 448954, member: 22611"] PW, that helps a lot. Bet my rear bench is the same dimensions, (1648). I have my batteries in an extended mid-deck and the fuel tanks/anchor in a forward vented hatch up front. How much metal did you leave on the back and front? The outside edges look smaller. If that worked without sagging, the hatch on this hull should be fine. I use 3pc fly rods much of the time and need one 36" lid to slide them into storage. Did you line the bottom with anything? I'm thinking of tacking a piece of aluminum sheet to the bottom. In the back well behind the bench, I throw dry bags and snap them onto a metal hoop bolted to the hull. Find that I need to stand across the bench and wedge my feet. Not spry enough to stand up without a casting brace. [/QUOTE]
