[QUOTE="Frogman Ladue, post: 253980, member: 8253"] There was nothing under the bench before I started...just a couple of 1x3"s to stiffen up the plank. I've seen similar boats of that era with and without a "float box". Mine didn't have one, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be there. I still have one under the back seat. The sides are just 1x12"x60" planks that were cut down. I had made templates out of cardboard, transfered to the wood, cut with a sabre saw "skill saw", and routered the edges with a 1/4" roller guided bit. All afixed with gavenized deck screws. Gimme a few mins, and I'll doctor up a pic showing the framing.... Done... Yellow marks the framing.. [img]https://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/Toad442/IMG_1794-1.jpg[/img] ...all the framing is 2x4" cut to 12". The seat's a 12" plank, so everything is square and eazy. [/QUOTE]
