[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 156593, member: 1523"] Google '80/20' it's extruded aluminum industrial framing. Uses steel threaded plates the fit into the slots. Lots of uses, gonna be a PITA to take apart once it starts to rust though, black oxide button head allen screws will rust solid in a month of sitting outside (been there). Pretty darned heavy per foot. You can get 1" stock and some 1"x2" is pretty common. Engineers like it, kind of like Legos on steroids. We have it on a bunch of machines for guarding, looks and works well until it get's bumped, then it falls apart. I love the boat, nice open design. Have you thought about using the modular stuff for the poling platform? Seems it would work well there with a simple aluminum skin? Jamie [/QUOTE]
