I recently purchased an Alumacraft Lunker with a Honda 4 stroke 40, tiller. As my first rig, I love it... very low hours, very very clean, etc. etc. (plus I got a heck of deal). As-is, it rocks for trolling, and is suitable for one man casting. However, there is no rear casting deck. I usually put my dad up front and stand on the rod locker or port side livewell to cast. I want to modify my rig by building a rear casting deck so I have a place to fish from without fear of falling overboard when my dad hooks up.

The plans are to move the captains chair forward, add a tiller extension, and cover the access to the gas can, battery and plug with a door or hatch that can be closed. Obviously, I would plan to be standing on this as my casting area.

Any ideas on this? Materials, etc.? Worth the effort and $$$?

Here is a pic of my rig to give you a better idea...
