[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 375115, member: 1931"] If it were my boat, I'd get some aluminum square tubing and place it across the ribs near the top. (Depending on where the flex is) Since you are saying it is flexing, I wouldn't use pop rivets, I would through bolt it. You could drill a larger hole on the outside and a smaller hole inside. That way you could get a deep socket inside to hold the bolt head. I have some 1x1 aluminum square tubing that I have built many projects from. Including some floors, and its very strong and durable. That's just my humble opinion. As for the bottom, search steelflex on this forum. There is a ton of info about using this product. I did the bottom of my boat with the new formula with Teflon in it. All I'll say is don't unhook the strap, until you're in the water ready to unload! Oh and watch out for the handle when you release your strap......its gonna move fast!!!!! [/QUOTE]
