[QUOTE="tfizzle172, post: 179898, member: 4024"] Thanks for the welcome guys. We have been working on the boat quite a bit lately, and I will post some progress pictures. It's pretty cold here in Indiana, so we are not sure on when we will get to start painting. Plans for now: Prep boat for paint (take it down to aluminum) Mock up a raised front deck (3/4" ply) stretching from middle seat to front of boat (bow? Lol, no sure on terminology!) We will put in floor in middle (1/2" ply?) Not decided fully how we are going to mod the back seat Probly Spar Varnish all the wood framing (2x2's) and transom boards Once weather permits apply steelflex to bottom Questions: 1) we removed the transom bracket in order to start repleacing the boards, drilling out the rivets. Is there an easy way to re-attach the bracket when ready? 2) when looking at everyone's decking, it looks very "clean" and I don't see how they are affixing it to the seats through the carpet. Does most everybody use small screws through the carpet to attach to framing? or what's the trick? Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
