Just wondering if anyone has any rough ideas what a custom aluminum deck extension would cost for an Alumacraft Classic model for the rear and what some good places to check with would be for one.

I had front and rear made for the 681vs I had for $80 total. I have a buddy with a fab shop though. Materials only. It is a little tricky if you want it bent instead of welded. Plus you still need to weld in a few supports or stringers with aluminum. Guess you could rivet them too. Just find a metal shop and talk to them about it. I opted to order from Ranger for my 690, mainly because I don't have the time to do it all again.

I built decks out of wood in my first 2 boats. Pretty simple.
