[QUOTE="Brine, post: 74773, member: 1053"] Ok, got the Steelflex in last week. Haven't considered applying yet, cuz it's been too cold! I was told that I needed to have air temps above 70, so It may be a while. In the meantime, I'm still trying to figure out how to layout the bow deck. The picture shows what I am trying to accomplish. I would like to have a couple hatches (or one big one) for the 2 batteries up front, but don't think I want any in front or to the side of the pedastal. I'm 270# and am nervous about standing around lids all day. So, with that in mind, let me know what you guys think about the best way to support the deck. Not sure yet if it will be plywood or aluminum yet, but the framing will be aluminum angle. Would also like to install a well for the trolling motor pedal as shown. Still waiting on the funds for the 6061 on the floor before I frame anything. That red piece of aluminum will be close to a 4 x 8. #-o The ribs are approximately 14" off center and the floor is about 42" wide at the green framing. Here's a pic of what I had in mind [img]https://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww216/closetfisherman/Layout.jpg[/img] And here is an orginal if anyone wants to play with the layout. hint...hint....
