I did this with a 14 ft jon boat put front and back casting decks along with storage compartments...etc... the boat is for sale now but if you put a deck on it dont put a long deck cause the stability is a lil bit of a problem

It won't help your stability at all. If anything it will make it worse because it will raise the center of gravity. It will also add weight to a small boat that doesn't really have a lot of weight capacity to spare.

If you want a boat with decks and stuff just get a bass boat i actually wouldnt suggest doing it because i did it and it does mess up the way the boat handles
