Here is a pic of what I used to hold the seams together and corner pieces of the frame. Just a basic hardened steel angle, they hold extremely well, picked up a pack of four at Home Depot for like $2.50 per pack. If you look close I also used Gorilla (wood) glue in all the seams even with the screws just to prevent squeaking and to really make it solid. I used a clamp on those three pieces and held it together over night, I literally stood on the three pieces and it didn't move or make a sound! If you look at the bolts through the wood bracket attached to the side of the boat I used the threaded nuts to prevent it from coming off down the road or bending or anything. Its an extra .30 cents per pack but well worth the lack of a headache
Then the other pics are the rest of the framing for the casting deck, and the side storage boxes. I have a few things to tighten and switch on some of the frames but after it is done I will be mixing up a batch of fiberglass resin to completely seal all of the top wood and frames. I plan to making a door on top of the casting deck to throw life jackets and what not in there. I made extra supports and really just left a little bit of room for the jackets, I needed more supports because I'm 6'4" tall and weigh 220lbs, I do not need to be falling through [-X
