Question Rear Casting Deck bayboat
Anyone know where i can find a removable/lock-in rear casting deck to fill the void b/w my compartments on the stern of my boat? or anyone know of someone who custom makes one? Montauk....? I know the old rolled hull kenners used to have a bolt in rear deck....something like that would be perfect. 1800 vision series boat:

I had a local fiberglass shop make me one for my whaler. That is really your only option if you want it to look decent. Here is a old pic of mine,it was a bare floor before,no deck at all.

300 worth of materials....we traded labor for some work I did on his outboard. It was well worth it,no casting deck on the rear sucks.

This is what i was thinking Donnie:
Get an aluminum frame built to contour the mold of my existing side peices, and have them do the glass on top of that and secure it with a turn buckle underneath.
Make it similar to a front casting deck almost, just a thought
