[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 294311, member: 7544"] My first suggestion would be to cut back on the number of 2x4's and try using some 2x2's. While the 2x4 may be needed for additional strength in some of the horizontal positions, a 2x2 in the vertical position has more than enough strength to support any load your likely to put on it. That many 2x4's is going to add quite a bit of extra weight to the boat so you need to keep that in mind as you build. Look at some of the other builds where wood was used for ideas and to see how they did theirs. [/QUOTE]
