i like the way snowboardinmn did his front deck support. https://tinboats.net/forum/download/file.php?id=1806&mode=view.
i have ruled out aluminum for bracing. i priced 2x2x1/8 square tubing for $ 40 /8 ft stick and 1.5x1.5x1/8 for $20. too expensive. i want to use 2x2s like snowboardinmn, or 2x3s. i think 2x4s will add too much weight, but im not sure if it will hold my weight. if you look at his, i think it would hold me fine providing there is a vertical support at every junction. i hope i made myself clear. also, i would like to know if there is any specific type of wood i should look for? im calling on the experts here so what ya think. thanks
