Casting deck for 13' Aluminum Boat

[tiffnichols]

Does any one out there have any plans or pictures of a bow casting deck for a 13' aluminum (Meyer's) John boat?

No Plans, or Photos here.......<br />Just a little "Heads Up"............<br /><br />A Raised Casting Deck on such a Small boat,<br />Can cause Serious center of gravity Issues.......<br /><br />Standing on the Floor, might be just a little Tippy............<br /><br />Standing 10" or 12"s Above the Floor, will Probably cause the boat to be Very Tippy............<br />Especially in the Bow....................<br /><br />BTW, Welcome to the iboats forums..........
