Allmand boats shows their process of making a boat deck. http://www.iboats.com/allmand/nb/m2379-y2009/. Make templates out of cardboard or scrap wood to fit the shape of the section of boat on which your deck will go. templates may look messy, but they save a lot of work when you're tracing the complex curves of a boat's bow on sheets of plywood.. Every few years i refit my boat, building in a custom non-slip fibreglass floor that doesn’t get hot. the main advantage of course is that i can run around all summer with no shoes and i can place fish on the deck without running to grab a wet towel or throw a few buckets of water on the floor..
Many fishermen like to make a casting deck so that they can move around unrestricted and fish more water in a shorter amount of time. removing the front two seats in a jon boat is a necessity if you would like to make a casting deck.. Are you talking deck or cockpit sole, welcome, for a deck you need a (shelf) welded around the gunnel, then beam,s attached to the shelf, with correct crown height, , and with sole, tabs welded to the topside plate, then a wooden cleat to the tabs, then sole bearers, then marine ply glassed, send , pics and beer. After steam-bending on the boat, each plank is removed to the bench to make adjustments to the fit and add the caulking bevel, both done by hand plane. this is the 2nd (upper) cuddy deck plank, cut and planed to shape prior to steam-bending..
