[QUOTE="MTBF, post: 413529, member: 19353"] Thing's aren't perfect with it but it ended up being super solid and level. Slight uphill to it for water drainage. All we had was a hand saw so he eyed the angles and made it work. Here was the start. We tacked it in to the back supports as well as the side ribs. Then added screws from top to bottom for the support legs. [img]https://i.imgur.com/YJpmsoJ.jpg[/img] The first rib is 1" off the aluminum rib. As we went forward it got gradually taller and taller. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZccGO3m.jpg[/img] At the bow you see that crooked triangle, we had 2 feet under that as well can't see it but you could walk on it very sturdy. We guess we added 20-30lbs. Boat was 205 dry I believe so we can pick it up fairly easy, this didn't make it much heavier. Took 5 2x4's 8ft long. We just split them down the middle. It's been a blast thanks for the comments guys! [/QUOTE]
