<p>The side panels rest on the beams fore and aft. Along the outboard edges they rest on ledges along the cabin sides. And on the inboard edges they rest on the triangular ledges that you mentioned. I'll attach an image from the plans that shows the side to middle connection.</p>

I taped the major seams. The ply was epoxy coated all over then painted on the top surfaces. I pegged some of the 20mm strips to the ply and to the transom. Not for strength, but it makes alignment easy and helps hold joints right when bonding. I didn't have any plans to work from, just the original decks as a pattern.

<p>Ian, when you rebuilt your deck did you glass the entire thing? Or did you just tape the long joints after filleting as the instructions indicate?</p>

<p>Brad, I can see your approach is right. I think with a light weight engine mounted as you say, it would work. It will take some careful design and would well be a nice design. I have a 5HP engine which is quite heavy. I find I need a bit of power as we moor up in an estuary with some exciting tides. </p>
<p>Water on my deck is not a problem and does not pool. However, I had to add anti-skid particles as it was slippery with bare feet when it was just glossy paint.</p>

<p>Good point, Ian. I am planning to make a sled like the one on the proa "Madness" that connects under the mast beam and can be lowered from the aft beam. The sled on madness is very low profile and high out of the water when raised. It won't put my engine any farther back than a Tiki 26 engine, and the sled will ride on the top of the water keeping the shaft deep in the water. I only plan on 2-3 hp, so it shouldn't be a big deal to set up. I'll also maintain the entire deck space for lounging…</p>

I only plan on 2-3 hp, so it shouldn't be a big deal to set up. I'll also maintain the entire deck space for lounging and sleeping! This is all, of course, if I decide to add an engine. The Race to Alaska guys make me just want to have a pedal drive or some big sculling oars!</p>

<p>Bo, I noticed that most of the spray comes in from the bows, so a solid vs slatted deck I don't think is that much wetter. I have a trampoline that I can put on the deck to keep it a little drier and have a nice space for cooking where my girlfriend won't lose everything though the cracks! One plus of the slats is that no water pools on the platform.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Eric I also notice some spring factor on my decks and plan to eventually add in some super beefy stringers underneath all parts of the deck. </p>

That also seems trange to me, the roof part of the deck. While there are three stringer inside the fore and aft deck, plus one outside, plus a curve which make them even stiffer, the plans call for only two stringer under the roof... I am "only" 85 kg, so it should be allright, but I have hesitated to put three.
