Add a small casting deck to cover the tank with provisions for a removable aft mounted deck extension to have a larger casting area and another seat mount. That will be a project for next weekend though. Yesterday I fit some foam and new wood loosely from the bench rearward as I haven't figured out what to do up front. I used el cheapo lowes 1" sheet foam with a foil type stuff on one side and plastic on the other between the ribs as that's as tall as my ribs are, the rear I cut four 2x3's to support and raise the floor so I can install seat mounts and increase noise deadening. Rear flooring is 1/2" ply as is the floor inside the bench, inside the bench I will add a small framework of 2x3 in the center to support the access door/hatch. The ribs in front of the bench aren't level or flat so I will have to build up the floor in the back a couple inches to make it level.</p></blockquote><p></p>
