[QUOTE="rickybobbybend, post: 282251, member: 6145"] Based on my (limited) experience, if you support the rear deck with the top of the rear bench, you will only need to support it at the transom and immediately in front of the motor. I used 5/8 inch ply. Not much framing or weight at all, and very sturdy...see my build for details and pics. Similarly, you can support the front deck, in part, with the surface of the front bench. But you will have to do some minor framing toward the bow. A lot of the folks on here use regular cardboard for tempates...I had better luck with thinner cardboard...almost tag board. And when you cut out the final stock, remember to miter the cut to mirror the taper of the hull. I cannot help with the floor decking...I didn't do that. But there are some great builds on here where that is detailed. [/QUOTE]
