[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 119449, member: 1523"] Looks pretty good, one suggestion before decking it, I would fit a pair of longitudinal stringers on the outside of your wood joists to carry the floor weight on the original ribs. Your current setup will be stressing the skin, not as strong or durable setup. I honestly don't see you center bench making the sides srtonger. A simpler stronger version would be to make some plywood forms for the front and back of your mini seats. Just coat them well and they shouldn't suck up a lot of water. Another thing, if you throw a little heat at the aluminum it bends easier without cracking out. Jamie [/QUOTE]
