[QUOTE="mudpuppy77, post: 155214, member: 3607"] Wow Bobberboy. That is a heck of a diagram! That looks like a great solution but here are some of my hurdles. 1. There is a 2x4 "brace" that splits the two compartments/deck in half. It rests on the ribs and was done to give the deck more support in the middle incase anyone were to step there. The brace is screwed to the deck but the deck is removeable so nothing is permanent. Both sides of the center brace are open down to the hull. I could remove the brace if need be and find another way to brace it. 2. I have no experience with riveting. I did make wooden gussets for the back floor so I am comfortable doing that. If there were an option aside from riveting the aluminum, I think I may have what I am looking for. [/QUOTE]
