[QUOTE="Heynow, post: 195972, member: 5605"] After deciding that I would use wood for the structure of the front deck, I had to get a plan for its layout. I debated a long time over how I should run my horizontal supports, figuring I had 3 options: Option 1- run the 2x2's from the top of the front seat to the top of the center seat. The problem with this option was that the front deck would be sloped due to the front seat sitting higher than the center seat. Many of you are aware of this dilemma. To level it out I would have to raise the center seat structure higher than my liking. Option 2- run the 2x2's between the front and center seats, so that part of the deck would sit directly on top of the center seat, and the other part on top of the structure. This seemed like a good option because it would keep the deck as low possible to the center seat. However, I discovered that lowering the 2x2's and decking would not allow for adequate storage space underneath. Most importantly, my battery would not fit up front if I did it this way. Option 3 - run the 2x2's from the top of the center seat into the face of the front seat. This is the option that I chose as a compromise. I'm a little worried that the deck may be a tad too high (sitting on top of 2x2's on top of the center seat), butt this is what I’m going with: [img]https://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/Heynow29/boatstructureoverview.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
