[QUOTE="Dormsauce, post: 315366, member: 11692"] Time for an update! Finished gutting the boat of all the rotting wood and carpet. Installed 1"x1"x1/8" aluminum angle and built a frame to hold a front deck and storage. Its very very sturdy and no holes were put in the boat. Can be taken out and removed with 9 screws. Still in the works but for the weekend we just used a regular piece of plywood and cut out the shape of the frame and screwed it down with a couple screws just to test it out on the waters and i couldn't be happier with how it worked! Hopefully this weekend ill get some pink foam board in between the ribs so i have a flat surface then the plan is to lay some type of lite weight sturdy sheeting over it and bond carpet to it. Then replace the front deck with a new piece of plywood with some type of waterproofing on it (Ideas?) and carpet it. Still a work in progress but it was nice to get her out on the water and try it out. [/QUOTE]
