[QUOTE="jtsokes, post: 498952, member: 33287"] Yes, matched the slope of the front deck. Wasn’t a fancy method just put a level on the front deck and drew a line to the ribs and then used some judgment to account for the thickness of the aluminum. The vertical 1 inch tubing was fitted to purposely support the outer mounts. They are 33 inches a part on center. Attached just to the deck and not usng back plates. Going to see how things feel on the water and adjust as needed. It will be easy to add additional support as the deck extension will be attached with machine screws where I can reach the fastener underneath the deck and either blind rivets or rivet nuts where I can’t reach the fastener underneath. In other words, I’ll be able to pull the deck out if needed. [/QUOTE]
