Thanks for the pics. They will definitely help.
Did you use aluminum diamond plate or smooth aluminum? I only see the front clip that secures the aluminum to the frame. Did you drill any holes in the frame to put more clips through? How did you attach the carpet? Will the aluminum support a 50lb battery on the rear deck?
I'm debating marine grade plywood vs daimond plate. Plywood seems like it would be easier to work with, cut etc. Diamond plate is lighter, but I would want to make sure I could have it cut to my specs and bent. I would prefer diamond plate due to its lighter weight. I still have the 26" x 16" 1/2" inch marine plywood rear deck from my first kickboat and it's heavy for its size.
P.S . Is your username freestone on the Washington Fly Fishing forum?
