Yes, 1" x 1" x 1/4" angle to frame out my floor and deck extension. The floor didn't require much framing though. The existing ribs provided plenty of support. For my deck extension it was framed out with the same angle. The vertical framing was angle attached through the side of the hull with solid rivets. This framing was done for custom aluminum hatches that I had a board sponsor make. The hatches dropped right into my framing and were riveted down with closed end blind rivets. For the extra support of my captains seat I double the aluminum sheet underneath the seat base and attached the seat base through both pieces of sheet. I then made a frame out of angle that was recessed below the boat ribs by 1/8" and matched the square dimensions of the extra sheet used for my seat support. With the floor in place this framing supported the extra piece of sheet that I attached my seat base to. I then riveted this down to the recessed framing with closed end blind rivets. My pin mount seat base on the deck I simply took square aluminum stock from starboard to port under the deck and ran the seat base bolts through the seat base, deck and square stock. This was the only place I used square stock. Everything else was the 1" x 1" x 1/4" angle. My floor is just 1/8" aluminum sheet painted with Parkers duck boat paint and asper grit (traction additive). Here is how I framed things out. Photobucket sucks, but you might be able to get an idea by the crappy pictures.https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=26774&start=180
