Casting Deck

[springbok]

I have a 14ft aluminum boat (3 seats open concept) and I want to install a casting deck at the bow. Any suggestions? What to use etc...<br />Thanks

Click on over to the project boats page and you will have lots to read. But in general, plywood and Rhino liner.

I built a casting deck on my 12' fiberglass Sears Gamefisher. Check it out: http://hometown.aol.com/brideg19/BassBoatConversion.html

Nice job Bassin large. I've done two boats one with wood framing the other using 1" and 1 1/2" angle iron framing. The one with angle iron framing actually turned out to be lighter. I used mostly steel from old bed frames. IT IS surface hardened and resists bending a little more. Aluminum angle is even better if and when you can get it especially if it is free.
