i have the same boat and it felt kind scetchy to me also and mine has the support piece under the dash.

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

my boats deck is pretty flimsy but in its defense it has a tiny support beam going down the center. i can see some fiberglass remnants of where a bulkhead once was and i think putting that back in will add a lot more strength.

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 ;D

Mine flexes in some spots too. Other spots are rock solid though. I have a pretty weak and small bulk head also.

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.

Should have bought a Hallett....
Mines a dance floor.

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