I might be able to get my hands on a 1964 Starcraft 14' for very short money.

If I did get it, I would want a floor / casting deck on it.

Do you have to put in any type of supports before you put the plywood (or other material) for the floor / deck down? Or does the material just rest on the seats?

I have zero experience riveting, so I am looking for the easiest and cheapest way possible to put a deck on it...

MANY MANY THANKS

If you are local to me come on by and check out my floor and how it is put in. Real simple and it is out of the boat right now. there is only one main support which runs the length of the boat. The side s are screwed to the ribs running side to side every 20 ". P.

Prof. M:

Thanks for the offer, where are you located? I am in Ashland, MA. (Just a few miles east from the start of the Boston marathon)

It will be awhile before I can actually start working, but I am going to use the time to learn as much as I can about how to upgrade this boat.

THANKS!
