Message: <blockquote data-quote="typed by ben" data-source="post: 321464" data-attributes="member: 11717">heres the main hurdle that keeps me from lowering the casting deck:[ATTACH=full]54769[/ATTACH]the blue line represents a level line with respect to the final bench.its a problem because of having to relieve the deck to avoid the stringers.  if i do that, id likely end up having to do some kind of a bulkhead to keep crud from accumulating in whatever gap gets left between the deck and the hull.  thats not to mention having to come up with some pretty custom support.  now in some ways it helps... it looks cleaner with the same elevation as the bench, and keeps the boat more stable overall.  it also allows me to add in a little vertical bulkhead for my trolling motor plug.an outside the box solution is to shorten those stringers since there will be plenty of support port to starboard with all the new deck that gets added.</blockquote>
