| I was getting very tired of being landlocked, so I jumped at the first good chance I had to do something about it. I bought this boat for a decent price, doesn't look pretty, but it floats! Attachment: theboat4.bmp (Downloaded 69 times)

I now want to put a deck on her, but not sure how to go about it. I know for sure the front seat has to come out to free up space, but how would I go about building a deck? I want it strong and sturdy, but not heavy. I have big plans for this boat, just need some advice on how to start the process, figured here would be a good place to ask for any help 
Any help or advice for it would be awesomely appreciated!!

| It's a 1978 9.9 Evinrude. This was a bonus motor, originally I was supposed to get an 8 hp with her, but instead the 9.9 was thrown in. I could've sworn this was a brand new motor when I opened up the cowling, immaculately clean. It runs strong as well, but I am having a few hiccups with her that I'm trying to work out. I'm hoping the new tank I got her will cure it.

Also check out your gas line.
My 9.5 was very touchy till i got the right set up.( I got it from a good bud but it did not come with a tank or line)
take care
