I just finished building a removable casting deck for the back of my crappie boat. I kinda did it spur of the moment, when I realized some plywood I had would work. The deck is 31" wide and 5' long, and is sweet. My crappie boat has almost turned into a bass boat. I guessing the deck weighs about 40# and is carpeted. If you see a carpeted piece of plywood floating at Casitas you'll know I lost it running across the lake.
