[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 187995, member: 4466"] I'm stumped again... #-o I started planning out the front fishing platform and I have no idea how to support this thing. I ended up cutting a 2x6 out and replacing the front bench so that I can use it as a base to build a wooden frame. I planned on riveting 2 more cross beams, but I don't know where I'm going to put them yet. I have to devise a plan for some sort of wooden cage, but since my v-haul is so steep, I am not sure how to make it level to the bottom of my boat. I've seen guys rivet the floor with aluminum angle...I might have to do that. The back deck is pretty much ready to be covered with plywood. I ended up working on it last night, but filled my time building a support platform for my livewell/cooler. I figure people will be sitting on it and it will need a good base. I put 4 screws into the stud under my plywood that you can't see...here's the finished product: [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/BOAT/896659761_photobucket_20584_.jpg[/img] [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/BOAT/896659761_photobucket_20585_.jpg[/img] *later tonight, I'm going to try and employ Crappie_Slayer's floorboard rivet idea: [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/BOAT/floor_board_idea-1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
