[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 315617, member: 11717"] ive also started thinking more critically about how i want the decks to be laid out. this drawing shows how i would likely need to space supports for the front deck and also shows a rough idea of what the rear should look like. i decided i definitely want hatches in the rear to cover the batteries, bilge area, and fuel tank. that area is gonna be a tough nut to crack because ill want hatch lids as well as a built in splashwell- and the splashwell will have to be tied to the transom! ugh. thats gonna be involved.[ATTACH type="full" alt="lowe1648m-idea2.jpg"]52750._xfImport[/ATTACH] in the front i decided not to do the angled hatches. in this layout i have three total hatches: two smaller ones on the port side and one larger one on the starboard side. the two smaller ones will be segregated in the center. the aftside hatch will house the batteries and the foreside hatch will hold PFDs and other stuffable things. the single large door will be used for seats, posts, and the oars. this layout will be much easier to build as everything is on a right angle. the whole thing would be covered with .080 5052 sheet, painted with some type of neutral tone non skid product. heres about what that would look like skinned out:[ATTACH type="full" alt="lowe1648m-idea2skinned.jpg"]52751._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
