[QUOTE="SrPhatness, post: 123967, member: 2387"] I'm not going to bolt the decking to the floor. Ive got the foamboard cut to a pretty snug fit. Then I'm going to glue decking down to the foam. I'm pretty sure it's not going anywhere as far as during transport. Just as a precaution I'm attaching 3\4 board to the middle bench above the decking. This will act as a lip. so the main deck can only be lifted from the back end. As far as the front deck, nothing is really holding it in but weight. I want to keep the deck removable for cleaning, but I would like to find a way to "lock" the deck down so if the boat where to go down the foam under the deck would help it stay afloat. Today's Progress. cut the top of the middle bench off for a future live well and a current form of storage. Got the DryPly cut to size at work. Tested it's water resistance by pouring a little water on the underside of the board and the water stayed puddled for half hour and didn't soak in, so that's a good sign. Mounted the seats to the deck via nut and bolt with a large washer. Couldn't find a caulking gun so that stopped progress. Tomorrow I'm going to Liquid Nails the plywood down to the foam. [/QUOTE]
