Location: Minocqua, WI | These photos attached below are somewhat old (this past fall). I have nothing too recent to describe the subject that I am talking about.... Just imagine that the tools aren't on the casting deck, nor in boat.
I would like to install a storage compartment beneath my small casting deck. My deck is maybe 4ft long by a little less than 5ft wide. This storage compartment I am thinking of building would be for the trolling motor battery and possibly rain gear. If I do this, it means that I won't have a 50lb battery just sitting randomly in the middle of the boat while fishing.
One of my good family friends would be assisting me with the cutting and what-not as he is a carpenter/ steel-worker by trade.
My only problem is that I have no idea what the hell is beneath my deck. In addition, if I wrongly start cutting holes, I do not want to be doing something detrimental to the performance of this boat.
Would anyone have an idea of what lies beneath the casting deck? Foam? Compacted air? Absolutely nothing?
My dad (my marine expert) and I have absolutely zero clue what's beneath the deck. The boat is a Lund Guide Series 315 - 1979 model, if that helps.
If anyone has any ideas or advice, it's much appreciated.
Thank you!
