[QUOTE="soccertoad20, post: 363988, member: 15025"] So I took a bunch of measurements of my boat to figure out the size of the casting deck and the side rod locker/storage areas. I have a rough estimate of 102 feet of aluminum angle I need. At around $20 per 8 foot piece I'm looking at over $2000. My wallet isn't that fat. I've decided to go with 2x2s. The wood will be cheaper, screws instead of bolts will be cheaper, it'll be easier for me to assemble, and cheaper to fix if I screw up a board. My question though is should I put a few coats of spar urethane on them? [/QUOTE]
