Well done mate. Looks as good as i've seen on any 4.55. Tough boat to build decks on.

Looks good. I need to pull my finger out and do the same to mine. I have made up a deck for the front about 2 years ago, but its still sitting in the garage. I really want to make one for the back too. Soon...

Now you just need to do something with the floor. I really like the polly's but i hate the interior layout, if you outlay that amount of $$$$$ on a boat you should not have to build your own floor and casting decks IMO.

That looks great... I've got my heart set on getting myself a poly within the next couple of years. :D

wouldnt care what i had to do. would never go back to a tin can. No tin boat would have wat i just did to it. and would cost much much more anyway. This boat is 9 going on 10 years old. Holding its value i think.

The frame is made out of 17mm ply waterproofed with angle line bolted to it for supports. Not alot of frame work involved just used existing front deck as main suport. As for the back a lenght of 50x50mm angle across the 2 existing rear seats did the job really well.
