Well, the deck is done and drying/curing. Went with U-Pol urathane bed liner in Artic white. (it's kinda like a slightly off white....not grey) Put in a hatch as was suggested in front of the gas tank...although truthfully, after it was in I'm thinking I should have gone with a bigger hatch...but it's easy enough to cut out a new hole and just screw in a bigger one if I deem it necessary. Time will tell. All underfloor hoses were replaced with new....just seemed prudent. Rod boxes have a few cracks in them that I'll need to glass, so they're just in there for show right now. Next project is lenghtening my 20" Merc 200 into a 25" and mounting it on the rear. Fun, fun, fun ... Oh..and I MUST get new seats and cushions.

Looks GREAT! I really like the hatch. There is also a hollow space under the captains chair, forward of the live bait well.

looks great, i have the larger size hatch, and in that high trafic area, the tend to last only 2 or 3 years before cracking. by going with the smaller one, you will probably get a longer life span out of yours.

how aggresive is the texture of your deck, would bare feet be uncomfortable?

I tried to get a close up of it in the last picture, just before the hatch. It's more like a ripple than a pebble...very low, rounded peaks and valleys.. that's the reason I went with the urathane..I'm hoping its going to be softer on the feet.. hard to really tell until I stand on it for a day of fishing/boating. Actually I'm more concerned with how hard it's going to be to clean up blood on the deck.

a light to middle weight power washer may be the trick, but NOTHING works better than WETTING (FLOODING) the blood BEFORE it dries w/a bucket or hose...

Destroyer, I'm REELY impressed w/your work!!...man that looks GREAT!!...YER GONNA HAVE A SUPER CLEAN 21 WHEN YOU GET IT ALL DONE...

It was mentioned above about the hollow space under the capt's chair...this is what I did on my 21...

It's a 3-drawer tackle-hatch...and couldn't have been in a better place....wish I could show you pic w/it open, but you get the idea...like you NEED any ideas!!...LOL!!
