Tom, I have a Tred Avon with stripped deck. I built the hull per plans, added several deck beams, and taped it all off and stripped to it with 1-1/2" fir. Then I pulled the deck off and set it aside till the holidays are over. I will attach it as though it were plywood, trim it at the sheer, and away we go. Hope to launch in early spring.

Chris's comment was that he didn't see the reason for adding that much weight, which is a valid point but I am more interested in a unique, pretty boat than a lightweight one. Perhaps I will find a way to post pix.
