These are the deck pieces roughly arranged to easily fit on 4'x8' sheets of plywood. I'm going to need 2 sheets of 1/4" Marine grade ply for the decking. Additionally I will need scraps for shims to make sure the deck lays flat.
The longest continuous sections are just under 8'. The decking is not laid out as it will appear in the craft but rather what is easier to cut from. Since this was a kit that came in a giant box delivered right to your garage I imagined the Luger brothers would have thought the same way to cut down on material costs.
By taking the next two longest sections and adding them from the side of the bottom sections from the last picture you can see how easily these decks can fit comfortably on to sheets of plywood. This is not all the wood that will be needed but it's all the plywood. The bottoms of the benches need to be recreated from thinner sheets as well as thicker solid stocks for the bilge cover, and crutch assembly and well as the bulkhead cover which will secure the flotation in the bow.
