[QUOTE="Dirk.sr, post: 366869, member: 15234"] I managed to pick up a 74 14' Lowe Line with a 70" beam for a song. If anyone can help with any of my initial questions it would be greatly appreciate. 1. Is there any great advantage to going with a full height transom? 2. The transom height is only 16 inches while the walls are 23(?). Is it a waste of time and resources to match the transom height with rest of the hull? 3. I plan to use .080 marine grade aluminum for the forward casting deck and I will be using .125 aircraft grade milled extrusion for the joists and support. Rather than carpet I planned to go with 1/8" rubber "diamond plate" as listed here [url]https://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Rubber-Cal-Diamond-Plate-Rubber-Floor-Mats-1-8-x-48-inch-Rubber-Runner-Black-8-Available-Lengths/8237955/product.html[/url] Has anyone had any experience with this kind of setup? I'd rather ask now than find out after I invest the time and money. All comments and responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dirk [/QUOTE]
