| We were having the same problem. So, we came up with an idea to solve two problems. Support the deck extension and find a place for all those lures. The extension is attached using a piano hinge that allows it to be swung up or down. The "legs" are two boxes that hold four large "plano" tackle boxes for storing lures, etc. We used 1/2 baltic birch plywood that was sealed numerous times. On the front, I doubled up the plywood and attached with screws and marine grade glue. We added a 1.5 inch aluminum corner piece on the front to add some durability. One could add some angle iron underneath for additional support. However, the platform is plenty strong with the boxes. Overall, it is about 5 feet by 2 feet. We also added the seat platform. This is one a Lund 1700 Pro Sport. It works great.
