Well, its time to start my 155 project. TAke a look below at the pland, and feedback is greatly apriciated.
Hatched are 4x6, double hatched are 2x4, "x" hatched are 4x4
Have already had a comment on placing a 2x12 across the front of the bow.


Ideas please!!! There will be 2 doors infromt, and deck screws will be used to attach 3/4" plywood to the sides for access to sump/refuge

IMO, thats way over kill ........what you think about this....
Trace the front on a 2 x 12 and cut 2 x 2 bow frame members, longer than needed to trim later, enough for stand, canopy and doors, frame with 2 x 4 and wrap with plywood and trim. You can add 2 x 4 joist at top center or miss drain holes ect.
more space inside and just as strong.....sorry my drawing is not as detailed
