Bill I just redid my floor boards that way this past fall , put two 1x2 stringers screwed to the floorboards halfway between the stringers in the hull so the floor boards were sitting level on the stringers attached to the boat and the stringers attached to the floorboards ,also the hull...
Steve, I have the same oarlock stantions on mine ,wondering if that was an option when buying new.I cut mine down and rubber capped it to hold the grass door at a slight angle when retreiving decoys.
Great Job Steve as always. will be interested in a new motor board next year, l like your design ,also a shelf on one side idea is food for thought, love the pics!!
