[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 276889, member: 7537"] This is what I have learned so far....I used the self tappers with aluminum l-brackets to secure the pieces of the framing to each other. They seem to be strong enough but I should have used two screws on each side to make sure the braces don't move. In my case this is the first time utilizing framing secured in this manor. I will have all the framing welded next time...that was not in my budget. I am confidant that when the decks go on and I screw them to the framing this will shore it up even more. This project is a learn as I go kind of thing.....I am already thinking of a 20' v for my next mod...... :mrgreen: It will be an all weld mod....kinda like daveinga's mod....I know his is solid as a rock.
