[QUOTE="bamabill, post: 422461, member: 15102"] Sorry, I haven't been to this forum for months. If you haven't done your modification yet here's some answers to your questions. DON'T use treated lumber anywhere, the chemical in it will react with aluminum. You shouldn't have any problem framing with aluminum angle. I just learned as I went. I bought two rivet tools, one small one with a rotating head, and one larger one with two handles. I used 3/16 diameter rivets. Don't remember what I paid for everything, just check Amazon. I used self tapping screws to secure the plywood to the front deck. For the rear seat and trolling motor base, I attached 1/4-20 t-nuts to the underside of the plywood before I covered with carpet. There should be some pics on a previous page of this post. Thanks for your interest, good luck! [/QUOTE]
