I'd like to know about the deck sag.  I've got a bad one in the very bow of the boat.  I'm not a big person but this area is just too close for me to crawl up into to do any bracing and glass work.



I did have one person suggest I try to get a jack up into the bow and with a heat gun, like the ones used for heat shrink tubing, heat the area then jack the area up into place and let it cool there.  I think this area is just too big for that and should be braced from underneath.

The sun is your heat gun, atleast it is here :banghead:..Leave it in the sun for half a day  and then put it in the shade to cool ???
It probably wont work, especially if its stretched (sp)
I got you beat, thats minor compared to mine.....

Well after sleeping on it i think im going at it all wrong   ???
I think i need to put more support under the deck and not the gunwale 

2 days ive worked on this and i think i found a solution   Im just in too much of a hurry to be thinking straight......time to slow it down a bit... My seats should be here today and my carpet the following or day after.

I just wanted it ready to get it all installed and check it off my list, but now i have more work to do if im gonna do it right.. 

Ah hell, whats one or two more days  :banghead:

Did you get the fiberglass seats from lucky stiff or did you go another route?

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."
