Although I agree that's the best way with the above post, (how could you not, its professional grade) that's asking a lot from an average guy to accomplish in his garage.

I've put casting platforms in two different boats of mine, both were 18' aluminum deep V. The last one I used 1/2" painted fir with cedar and aluminum supports keeping an an eye towards reducing weight wherever possible, mainly because I had made my previous boat decks too heavy.

My last boat was an 18 Crestliner and it functioned and held up great for 10 years until I sold the boat, and should hold up for another 10 years if the guy keeps it out of the weather when stored.
