[QUOTE="toddster88, post: 200513, member: 5385"] Thanks Luke. I put a couple more 2x2 braces across the top of the deck and for the botoom piece of the deck I just have those 2 - 2x2's and a 2x2 coming off each one of those diagonally. Sorry if you cant picture it in your head, ill try an get some pics of it undeneath there soon. But it is super sturdy. As for the brackets, they are Simpson Strong Tie rigid connectors. I go mine at lowes for like a buck and some change a piece. I put the url for them at th bottom here. I put a couple coats of paint on them and coated them in silicone to prevent the galvanized backet from contacting the aluminum of the boat (probably overkill but oh well lol) [url]https://www.lowes.com/pd_96038-72913-RTB22_0__?productId=3047952&Ntt=simpso+strong+tie&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dsimpso%2Bstrong%2Btie[/url] [/QUOTE]
