[QUOTE="Jay415, post: 237765, member: 6905"] I added about 400lbs total. With the batteries and motor and full tank of gas. I used 5/8 on the raised bow deck and 1/2 will be used on the lower decks. The bow seat is very stable. The stern seat is just balanced right now, not mounted yet so I can say how stable it is. I am backing it with 2x6 underneath floor so I expect it to be just as stable. Any 2x material filled the gap perfect from hull to top of rib. So that should add strength. I'll take step by step photo when I do it. My progress slowed a bit. All wood was mounted with the SS decking screws. The TM was then mounted with the largest pan head lag bolt that would fit through the mounting holes on the TM bracket. They are long enough to pass through all the wood down to the aluminum deck underneath. [/QUOTE]
