Question,
After the bench seat removal step, now I need to add an exterior side rib to my 16 foot tracker v bottom boat. The sides are very flimsy with all three bench seats removed. (Bench seat removal holes will be filled with wet adhesive solid rivets.) How do i make a side rib or has anyone tried to contact tracker marine directly to ask about having one made, ( i couldn't find a email for corporate)? What is the correct name for that side rib that will be outside the boat, my boat vocabulary needs help? Has anyone made a homemade one and how did you go about it? Using the search on "stiffener" what came up was for transom and bow. Many thanks to all.
