[QUOTE="rickybobbybend, post: 281884, member: 6145"] You should be fine with 2x2s for the fore and aft decks (be sure you seal it), unless you want to use aluminum framing. I used wood on my first project and it worked fine; but will be using aluminum framing on the next because I want to try it. Your deck heights sound very doable. To be sure, you can put the boat in the water and stand on the seats to see how tippy it would be. "Too tippy" depends on the specific hull and is very subjective. I would think you will be fine in the back. Up front will depend on how high the seat is. I will let some others chime in on framing the floor as I did not do that on my 12. You should, however, consider adding flotation foam under the new floor. [/QUOTE]
