Aluminum Boat Project

[Rob Wilkins]

I have an 11' aluminum sears boat. I was thinking about building a deck in the front section of the boat. Kind of like a bass boat deck. I'm just not sure if its possible or wise to do. Does anyone have ant advise or know anyone whos done it.
Thanks Ya'll

those small aluminum boats are extremely unstable, just put a deck down low, to flatten it out to make it easy to walk on.

I won't stand up in that boat muchless walk around. Seen several turtle in lakes around here.

A raised platform just makes fishing a bit easier..... you will not gain enough height or see the benefit on such a smaller boat. Save your money and time on better things. If I remember the smaller aluminum sears boats were mostly welded with thin aluminum..... I would not stress it or make it top heavier Leaving it alone keeps it lighter to handle too.
