[QUOTE="jeffsjonboat, post: 117317, member: 2321"] Today I had to cut out more of the middle bench so I could fit in the livewell and still have room for the rod locker. I finally got to use the rivet gun and secured a few pieces of angle aluminum to the ribs. I wanted to get yalls thoughts on this: I have a few 8 feet pieces of 1/8" angle aluminum. Since I'm planning on decking all the way to the bow, I used C-clamps to hold the aluminum to the top of the boat. I was thinking I could do this around the entire boat ([color=#4040FF]just from a few feet behind the middle bench to the bow)[/color] and then the plywood could just lay on top. Does that make sense? That would make the deck perfectly flat. I know the deck would be a little high, but my boat is very wide and I don't plan on taking this out into really rough water. Let me know what yall are thinking. I still would build the regular foundation, this would be in addition to that. [/QUOTE]
