decided to fab up a rear deck on my xpress, partly to make it easier to fish 3, partly to give me some extra storage. all aluminum was .125" frame is welded together, but installed into the boat using 1/4" rivets in case it ever needs to come out. deck is installed with 3/16" rivets. ill be installing latches on the side of the lid as soon as they come in, and am attempting to get a quart of the factory xpress rhino lining.
