[QUOTE="UtahBassKicker, post: 135351, member: 2815"] The nose of the frame actually rests right on the hull of the boat. I drilled a 3/4 in. hole in the center 2x4 and threaded a 1/2 in. rope through it. I then drilled some 3/8 in. holes in the nose piece on the boat. I knotted both ends of the rope and used some steel clips and attached to the holes drilled in the nose piece. [img]https://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/UtahBassKicker/Alumacraft%20Fishing%20Boat%20Mod/Rope-1.jpg[/img] Then I used some small "L" brackets and screwed one end into the 2x4 and the other into the bench. I used the "L" brackets all across the bench, the pictures only shows some of them. The others are covered by the decking. I've had the boat several times and the little casting deck is as sturdy as can be. [img]https://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/UtahBassKicker/Alumacraft%20Fishing%20Boat%20Mod/LBrackets.jpg[/img] Hope this helps. This seems to be a popular question in this forum. :D [/QUOTE]
