This method offers less surface area but more stability in my opinion. I am always worried about a loose splinter puncturing the sleeve and bladder and the wood resting on the frame (covered with outdoor carpet) helps eliminate that possibility. Josh…when you get your tooner platform done, shoot me a picture at Coloradocasters@yahoo.com and I will post it on the blog. This may help make you famous to the two or three people that stop by my blog once in a while.

I am not a very large guy so my deck fits well on my 9-foot toons. 10-foot or larger would be more ideal and can accommodate larger anglers. My smaller LT Sport (really it’s a kickboat rather than a one man pontooner) has a smaller deck to hold my feet out of the water but I cannot stand on it. If you make a two-piece deck similar to the one I deploy, make sure to secure the ends with an additional bar or even rope on the ends. I added a bungee cord to mine on both ends to keep the boards from flipping over when I step to the edge.
