[QUOTE="codydegelia, post: 464357, member: 24602"] Hey y'all, Been a lurker for awhile, and this is finally my first post. I've got a 1448 alumacraft. I'd like to extend the front seat clear back to the middle seat as a casting deck and add a couple of hatches. I would like to use aluminum for the decking and bracing. Those that have done it, how are you attaching the braces? Sheet metal screws, rivets, or weld? I need it to be plenty sturdy. As far as the aluminum for the deck, is ⅛" going to be sturdy enough? I'd like to do it right so that the boat will be sturdy, safe, and last for a long time, but I am on a budget. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
