[QUOTE="PriceTR24speed, post: 495794, member: 32399"] I was a little worried about the stability of a deck , but have fished it a bunch with a buddy standing on the existing front deck and me standing on middle or back bench and it hasn't been a problem at all. The weight of the deck could make it a little more "tippy" but I am going to use aluminum framing to keep it as light as possible. A lot of folks I have talked to with decks said it isn't a problem?. I am going to move as much weight as possible (batteries and maybe the fuel tank) forward and centered on the floor to add some ballast I think will help. Also I am a fair weather fisherman so wont be out there trying to stand on it in rough water. Doing some drawings now showing the deck options at different heights and I will post shortly. Now I am just trying to decide if an extra couple inches higher will make any noticeable difference. [/QUOTE]
