Do I really "need" a casting deck?

[QUOTE="Buster, post: 515054, member: 27745"] I've got a 1966 14' Lund. When I fish alone, I can stand on my low bow floor (about 3" off the natural V) and cast comfortably but even stepping over seats is an iffy proposition for this reasonably agile 60yo. There is no way two people could both stand comfortably. Even the shift caused by a short flip of a plug is enough to throw a second standing person off balance. I'd guess your jon would feel similar, so consider how much you fish alone vs with someone else. Love the idea of cheap temporary plywood decks. I actually used layers of pink insulation foam to try different heights in the bow. With 4, 1" thick pieces cut to fit I could try multiple heights in one trip. [/QUOTE]
