[QUOTE="parratt1, post: 375717, member: 16532"] So I sat and brainstormed last night a little after the Parent Teacher conference for my daughter. I am thinking about keeping the floor as low as possible. I am figuring on an aft "deck" of some sort or possibly even 2 benches running parallel to the boat sides in the back. One can house the fuel tank and one can house the three batteries I will have on board. I figure putting the batteries opposite where I will sit will help balance out my big rear. I want to also have a front flat deck to run the trolling motor and fish but I want to keep it low, not high like a lot of people do. I figure lower will not hinder my fishing and will only make the boat more stable. I won't need much of a place to mount the trolling motor so I am thinking just a fabricated mount of some sort only up on the very top to mount it and to attach the navigation light. Leaning towards more of a layout something in line of a stripped down fishing model Lowe deep V in the picture below. I am thinking about using 2x2 x .125 aluminum angle for the floor support and attach it with rivets on the lower ribs like a lot have done. Then fill the voids under the floor with as much pink foam as I can manage to stuff under there. [/QUOTE]
