Message: <blockquote data-quote="JMichael" data-source="post: 274434" data-attributes="member: 7544">I haven't done a lot more to the boat than what is currently showing. I did install the new rear seat and base but it's gotten so miserably hot outside now that I haven't tried to do much more with it for now. I'll resume with the front deck early this fall most likely but for now I'm just fishing with it whenever weather permits. I got my aluminum angle stock at a bulk metal sales place that was located about 35 miles from my home. I found out about them when I stopped at a metal fabrication shop to see about buying metal from them. They informed me where they buy their material from and I went there. The plywood I used is ½" exterior rated plywood. I weigh over 250lbs and mine holds my weight just fine when standing/walking around on it. As long as you have adequate support/bracing under the wood, the ½ works great. That is 3 coats of spar varnish. Current plans are to put a coat of Tuff Coat on the floor and decks once I have the front deck built. Thanks for the compliments. I just didn't like how much floor space the original bases took up vs. the new pin type pedestals and I like the ability to pull the post out and put the seat back in the same location but 15" lower than it was.</blockquote>
