[QUOTE="Buster, post: 523282, member: 27745"] I have a different boat than shown but I found that putting a bow casting deck at the height of the seats was too high and felt very unbalanced. I ended up going a few inches lower. Did some prototyping with pink foam and plywood before finishing it for real using 1/2" Coosa board. By planning your spans and/or filling with foam you can get by with a lighter aluminum or other material. Just from my experience I think many people overbuild their decks but we all have different methods and needs so maybe not. I have had no problems doing it my way but I don't have any traditional hatches. My access is screwed in place. [/QUOTE]
