Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kinja" data-source="post: 460573" data-attributes="member: 23863">When in the water, this boat will spend most of its time in inshore Florida Gulf waters (saltwater) with my wife and me aboard for fishing and scalloping (by snorkeling).  I want to have a full deck with all the accoutrements needed for fishing and such.  I plan to frame it up with aluminum angle (mostly 6061 1/8" inch thick, some 6063 1/16" inch thick) and deck it with 3/4" plywood and a livewell and hatches made from plastic bins such as the tough ones sold by Lowes/HD, with plywood covers.  It will also have a center console.  My plan is to go from this:[ATTACH=full]100117[/ATTACH]to something like this:[ATTACH=full]100118[/ATTACH]The next step is to start framing it up with the aluminum angle.  That has yet to be started.  I will reply here with more info/photos as I go.It is not clear from the plan picture above that the floor just before the console is a lower deck/subfloor, and that the console, seat, floor is wider than I drew, but I think you get the idea.</blockquote>
