[QUOTE="Heynow, post: 198389, member: 5605"] When I finished the front deck structure, including installing the vertical 2x2 supports, I started on the deck itself. My first order of business was making a template for the deck. I used two pieces of cardboard taped together to get the right size, and then kept trimming it until I got the right fit: [img]https://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/Heynow29/IMG_0367.jpg[/img] I then cut out the holes for the hatches after fitting-in the cardboard: [img]https://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/Heynow29/frontdecktemplate2.jpg[/img] I transferred the template onto my plywood and made the cuts. I drilled a few more holes in my deck for the TM plug, Fish Finder, Seat, etc, and then Thompson'ed the edges and bottom of the deck. I did not Thompson the top of the deck as my carpet glue advised not to. [img]https://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l530/Heynow29/frontdeckcutout.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
