[QUOTE="aeviaanah, post: 272016, member: 6493"] Hey thanks for stopping by and for the nice reply! This is my first boat and I love it, just repainted it last weekend. For the deck i used the existing bench seats to support bottom of ply. I used aluminum flatbar for the hatches to catch and two pieces of formed aluminum angle running right through the middle of the deck (between front and middle seat). The deck is two pieces, a right and left side with seam in the middle. Take a look at the above posts, thats how I did the hinges. To get the profile of the deck i measured out 6" increments down the length of the boat, on center. I then measured perpendicular to each of these marks off center and wrote down the numbers. From there I was able to layout the deck on wood. Deck is fastened under the formed flanges of the existing bench seats. I used 1/4-20 bolts and special wood nuts that are pressed into the wood. A bit of glue helped make sure they stay... Let me know if you have any questions. [/QUOTE]
