hey guys .  i grew up  in a stevens flatty  wood and glass make up  and the deck  was rock solid  .. my ? is  on my new to me  76 spectra  19 ftr  the deck  is not all that stiff   it has some soft spots   ..  is this normal   or am i now to fat ?  lol   i have seen pics  of  folks standing  on the front of there boats  and there is no way i could do this..  i hope  it is  the norm for some of these ..  thanks       robbie

i used to have 6 chicks dancing on the front of my crusader. but that thing was a  tank

ok cool.  i just didnt want to find out that my boat was all rotten from the insideout   .   i will just not scoot across the deck when i am docking the brown and yellow turd..   thanks      robbie

Just make a habit to walk around the edge.   Laying out on it should be no problem because you're spreading out the load.  All of my boats have had flimsy decks.  My dad's Nordic is like a rock though.

True about the Nordic deck. Kids use it for a slip & slide.
