[QUOTE="Centrarchidae, post: 340592, member: 12622"] Thanks rscottp! I have been following your build as well. I am really liking the flat floor ribs in these Lund's. It is making building structure to the hull quite easy compared to other designs without the flat ribs. I have been able to work on the boat at night a few nights this week so I have made some good progress. I got the starboard side box completely built, which extends from the front bench back to about 4' from the stern - about 4' feet in length. I removed the middle seat bracket from the hull and cut it up to make supports for the new side box. Filled in the holes through the hull from the bracket with some 3/16" solid rivets. Also removed some SST screws and nuts that were used to fill in rivet holes of the 2nd bench when it was removed. I also started making the port side box in the back as well as a square storage or foam box in the back corner on the starboard side. Originally I was thinking of reusing some of the bench sheet metal to make the boxes but I decided instead to use the aluminum angle to make a frame and then use some thin wood for the sides and some thicker wood (probably 1/2 or 5/8") for the tops. I got the bottom profile of these boxes done so the next step is to build the vertical supports and top frame. [/QUOTE]
