[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 515023, member: 13975"] The best thing a casting deck offers is that in building it you generate more storage. A small jon boat gets cluttered REAL fast and storage really makes fishing more enjoyable. Not a big deal if you are solo but add in another person and it gets annoying quick. Now with a 1236 that casting deck will be pretty unstable. If you dont care about foam in the boat, you could open up the bench seats and remove the foam and you have instant storage and can keep the layout as is for stability. If you want to keep foam, you could do that to just the middle bench and then build a short deck just in front of it that you could fill with new foam to offset the bench foam you removed. Use the bench as storage and then have a relatively stable lower deck up front to fish from. [/QUOTE]
