[QUOTE="jeffsjonboat, post: 117363, member: 2321"] Hey FishingBuds, Yes I plan on having bracing star to port. I'll connect those with strips to the rails. What's left of the middle bench will be used to add a little extra strength. There will be supports going perpendicularly across the ribs, vertical angle aluminum from those, and then I will box that in to have different compartments. The bracing around the sides might be a little overkill, but it will add a little more stability and then I can bolt, not rivet, the deck to the railing so every 3-4 years I can take it out to replace the carpet and plywood to keep it looking good. I'll post a sketch of my plans in a couple of days. I need to try to find an aluminum scrap yard somewhere in GA. All this aluminum adds up quickly at HD or Lowes. If anyone knows a good GA supplier or yard let me know! Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
