This topic might have been discussed before; I haven't checked in the archives or anything yet. If it has please give me the link or what the topic is called. When I get old enough to get a job I am going to be saving up for an aluminum boat that is probably going to be around 16'. I am looking for an article of a site, book, etc. for building my own custom deck, and possibly an article for building a center console for that kind of boat. Rob I have seen your boat and as I recall you did do the deck yourself and you did an awesome job. If you have any info on how I can make my own that would be great too. Any help would be great. Thanks. Steve.
