[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 125193, member: 1460"] Okay, like I said, everything up front is complete other than the recessed foot tray. I'm going 4 inches down, so I need to go to HD and buy some sort of 2x4 bracing. Everything is rock solid, and level (something I figured I'd struggle with). I also got the cockpit floor bracing in, which was a pain. The fact that the ribs are not flat across the bottom but angled down makes it tough to create a flat surface. However, I got it perfectly level, and as solid as its gonna get. There is a little play in the 2x's that are right next to each other, because I can't get a screw into the inside edges. However, once plywood is sitting on top of it, and seat pedestals screwed down, its not going anywhere. I'm really starting to dread tearing it all back apart, sealing it, and reassembling it. I'm going to take layout pictures of everything, number it all, label the top and front sides, and write the order I disassembled it, and reverse the order when I put it back in. It'll drive me nuts if the boat turns out worse the second time around :shock: [/QUOTE]
