manveru Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 i have an old 16' closed bow fiberglass boat that i'd like to put casting decks on. I've searched and learned a lot but still have a few questions. Is cutting the closed bow portion of the front to add a deck a bad idea? and how would i attach the bracing for the deck to the boat. Thanks Quote
Super User cart7t Posted March 11, 2009 Super User Posted March 11, 2009 Yes you can cut the deck. The best way would be to glass supports along the sides and then attach your deck support system from that. Quote
manveru Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 ok, thanks that was my idea, just seeing if there was anything else out there Quote
Super User cart7t Posted March 11, 2009 Super User Posted March 11, 2009 You might want to go to www.Iboats.com, register and ask the question there. They have a lot of guys that have done work on the older covered V hulls and could give you tips or pointers on what to watch out for. Quote
