[QUOTE="Poormans Boatright, post: 390384, member: 5870"] Here is another build I currently have going on at my shop. The owner (Damon) lives close to me in Bubbaville, TX. Damon is a pleasant guy to be around, he is quite humorous, however he tends to worry or dwell on petty issues a tad bit. When he first brought his boat to me he wasn't quite sure what all he wanted to do, let me reiterate that, he didn't know how much he wanted to spend! Ha! Well he tells me first weld up broken ribs in the center of the boat, ok, I explain to him welding them up isn't going to fix the problem, I've seen too many of these 8' wide boats break the ribs right down the center on every rib. I tell him it needs to be reinforced with some form of structural material, he agrees. We decided to reinforce all the ribs with 2 x 2 x 1/4" angle on every rib. He also wants to cap the ribs on the side of the interior of the hull with sheet aluminum. Which I did using .0800 sheet. Here is what has been done so far, we will see how far he wants to go with it, or how deep his pockets are! [/QUOTE]
