[QUOTE="thefirstbert, post: 487620, member: 31580"] Thanks for the reply! I am really trying to stay away from wood. It is a lot cheaper and not using it is the reason this project is going at a slower pace.(money). I usually try to get my projects done quickly in fear of them getting put on blocks behing the shed and forgotten about. Wood has merit but at the moment i am ok with the slower build pace in favor of aluminum and weight savings. This boat was twice the weight it should have been when delivered from factory Another thought was to install the bracing and glue with 5200, eps pink board to the bracing/stringers and then glue the aluminum sheeting to it with a few well placed screws. Also install hatches in maintenance prone areas. This should be less permanent than the welds but 5200 is pretty tough stuff. Wood does look better and better the closer we get to summer. Thanks for the idea and compliment! [/QUOTE]
