[QUOTE="BigEd313, post: 465036, member: 24656"] After fishing the 1448 for 10+ years I know what I want, simplicity but with a few hatches. I just need to make sure the 1"x1/8" will be what I need. I saw a video of Mr. Lopez saying that he wouldn't use anything but 1-1/2x 1/16". It seems a little flimsy for the main deck supports for me. Am I just missing something? I figured that If I riveted them together back to back that would more than double the strength on a single by doubling the thickness but also by giving it less ability to flex a twist with the T shape vs the L shape.
