[QUOTE="leeaj85, post: 366709, member: 15220"] this was a very enjoyable and fairly cheap project to complete. I used 4 2x4, 1 sheet of 5/8 cdx plywood, 1 qt of spar, and a 6x8 cut of outdoor carpet. I ripped the 2x4 down to create 2x2 and tried to keep the project as simple as possible and not try to over engineer the design. I tried to keep load points of the platforms on the seams of the hull and allow them to dry fit so they are not secured to the hull. They are a tight fit to place them but do allow the boat to flex or move without the fear of stretching or breaking fasteners. Most importantly it makes the little boat more enjoyable to use and the dog likes not sliding around on the metal floors. [/QUOTE]
