I've done a number of them, in 14' and 16', some Jon boats, mod-V and full V-bottoms. 


In all of them, I went with the platform at the seat height, and they worked great.   Some guys make them at gunnel height, and I don't like that at all. 


I don't have many pictures, but here are a couple of my 16' Princecraft:

It had 3 bunks that I put 5/8" floor-sheathing rated plywood.  I sealed it well with Thompsons and put carpet over top.  [ATTACH=full]124207[/ATTACH]


 Later, I added a rear deck between the floatation seats/bunks at the same height and section of flat flooring in the forward area.  I never did the flat floor in the back.

This is a 16' factory Tracker TX, re-decked.  They make their decks higher than I like, but no issues with balance.   Still, it's a lot easier to step off the edge, if you aren't looking.  At least there is a little lip to help warn you.

Sorry, I don't have many pics in this computer.
