Re: Starcraft-Can this be restored?
Took another close look at the boat and a casting deck could probably be installed with no hardware at all. If you see the lip that the drivers seat sits on. Cut a cardboard pattern to fit the bow the size of the deck. I would come back far enough to leave leg room to drive. The bench seat looks to be 3/4" so I would use 3/4" plywood. If you then remove that bench seat you can just slide the casting deck in up to the bow. I would the cut that console in 1/2 to allow access to the deck. Just build a small console and attach to the deck. The deck and the driver seats should be more than enough to prevent flexing.
