[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 250427, member: 7537"] I know what your talking about. The PO of my boat used the same thing for his bracing. My boat is mostly saltwater use, and every place where he put those things had some serious damage.....I opted for the aluminum castle clips. They are powder coated and ready to install. I plan on using aluminum self-taping screw on the ribs just as you did. For thru the hull I will use 3/16 alum rivits. The framing can be purchased at home depot, it is for pool enclosures and they have lots of different sizes. It is costly but I plan on keeping my boat and I dont want to worry what is going on under my deck. I wish I had a scrap yard around here that would sell me aluminum. I have seen other people that got great deals from scrap yards. On a funny note, My 20' aluminum ladder is starting to look like it might need to be cut up. :shock: [/QUOTE]
