Re: Building new deck onto my fiberglass jon boat.....NEED HELP!!



Just got my rails fiberglassed in and thought i would post the pics so you could see them. Now I'm ready to start building my deck. Thanks for all your guys advice. I couldn't have done it without your help. I'm thinking about installing a live well. Anybody got any suggestions?

I'd do this...

Also, I'd cut back on the thickness of your rails. You only need, 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" in my opinon. What you have is just adding additional weight that you really don't need. That's my opinion. It's your boat so do it how you see fit.

you might not have seen it because it wasn't a good pic, but the rails are only 1" by 1", plus i thought fiberglassing some rail supports in, down the side of it for extra support.

I was going to us a cooler for a live well and customize it, but that looks like a better idea.

thanks!
