[QUOTE="simbelle, post: 313008, member: 10384"] Well, work on the boat has slowed way down. I have 8'of 1/2" plywood of floor cut and laid on the stringers, had to add another stringer up front, because I originally was going to start a raised deck at 7'. Have to figure out just exactly what and how I'm going to do with the front of the boat as far as framing, decking and such :? . Had a plan to start, but the battery height has thrown me a curve ball and getting some distance between the two pedestal seat and placing the bait well have added to my dilemma. Looks like I'm going to be dropping the battery down onto a 3/4" plywood flooring then will the sides will be about 6" to a raised section were my front seat will set; This section will stop and raise up to the top of the gunnels for the last 2 feet. At least that's what I'm thinking. All this is just me thinking out loud, because I doubt few people if any are actually following this post. I am also, confused at just how to fasten the plywood deck to the aluminum stringers and not have screws or rivets showing everywhere. I read some posts on another site, actually a couple sites about using rivets and I can see were 3/16 x 3/4 rivets would work well. However, I still am wondering about the final aesthetics of the thing. [/QUOTE]
