Re: Adding a front deck question
Not a big fan of "add on" decks personally as the boats often aren't designed for them... I just removed the one that was in my Grumman.. Very stout and well built, but hundreds of pounds, of framing, plywood over the framing, seat with pedestal etc really upset the balance and the boat is much better now, sits higher in the water as it should and doesn't plow as much. a LOT less spray over the bow..
It depends on what type of fishing you do I suppose.. Add ons have to be well designed, and light, . If not, they could cause a lot of problems... In small calm lakes where you are not running at speed through rough water, not as much of a problem, but i have seen a lot of boats way too nose heavy due to well constructed, but poorly balanced front casting platforms, added on to open style boats... bob
