[QUOTE="FishyItch, post: 170643, member: 4387"] Sayre, I'm looking forward to a good answer to this question as well since I'm trying to decide how to frame my boat in the spring. I think I'm probably going to go with wood since I'm more comfortable working with that than aluminum. But to (sort of) answer your question...Some of the framing jobs I've seen done on the forums with aluminum have not been done with [i]tubing[/i] but aluminum [i]angle[/i]. My guess is that would cut the weight you've calculated by about half. Can someone back me up on this? It's just sort of a half guess. [/QUOTE]
