[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 138311, member: 1776"] The bracing that is attached to the boat is aluminum. I didn't want to use anything that might cause corrosion. Thanks for looking out for me, most of this is done by the seat of the pants. As of now, I need to finish the battery mounts up front and add two more braces to the sides of the boat. Then the front will be ready for decking. - about an hour of work Wiring still needs to be run to troller, batteries and front lights :( Need to deck the bottom - I was going to use 1/2 ply to save weight, but I'm not sure yet. might just mix it up a bit, with 3/4 inch in the open walk thru area and 1/2 under the rear casting deck. Back deck casting needs to be built, but that should be a breeze compared to the front deck. Very few angles to work around :D Also need to do something about the paint issue. Maybe I'll take that off this weekend. I'd like to have the decks built first so I know how much I really need to do. The white is ok, but it was a latex paint put on with a brush by the prior owner. Touch it and it scrapes off. Well, back to the day job for now! [/QUOTE]
