[QUOTE="Mikey602, post: 413440, member: 20789"] mFirst time posting here, long time lurking. Like to start off with thanks this site has been extremely useful with questions I've had during this build. So like the title says I have a 05 2072 tracker grizzly I hunt/crab/fish out of. The boat was pretty basic nothing special and started to show a lot of wear/flexing. so after duck season I started gutting it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="image.jpeg"]85030._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="image.jpeg"]85031._xfImport[/ATTACH] After removing floor the ribs showed as I expecteda few cracks. fixed cracks and began making new "ribs" for the hull. I used C channel to run width of beam and angle as legs welded down to hull. I brought the ribs level across so floor would be level length/width. [ATTACH type="full" alt="image.jpg"]85033._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="image.jpg"]85034._xfImport[/ATTACH] Once the ribs were done I Layed foam in between ribs and notched 1/8" alum diamond plate for floor. After many hours of researching and scratching my head I went with rivets to secure floor. Only time will tell how they hold.
