[QUOTE="jeffsjonboat, post: 117169, member: 2321"] Hey guys, Thanks for all of your suggestions. After much consideration, I have decided to use aluminum bracing for the deck. I just cut out the middle bench and have begun to place the angled aluminum on the ribs. The first few ribs were easy, but I'm running into problems when the boat starts to curve upwards towards the bow. The ribs are no longer 180 degrees and flat like the ribs on the bottom of the boat. What's the best way to put the angled aluminum on the ribs when the ribs aren't flat? It's going to be hard to get the deck flush if the foundation angles are off. Has anyone else run into this and how did you fix it?? I'll post some pictures soon! [/QUOTE]
