[QUOTE="maddog, post: 254220, member: 8022"] got the sidesupports installed. used the old seat mount for the midpoint tie-in and used aluminum angle riveted to the front and rear seats to tie in the ends of the board. It seems pretty stiff, I can lift the boat up off the trailer by these side supports. This is stronger than that stock setup for front/rear rigidity. the floor will add some extra support also. These mods are getting heavy, I am going to guess it's over 100lbs by now.

I will probably just sand/stain/seal the side supports to match the transom wood. Still need to figure out the rear deck area hatch and where to mount some of the electronics. I need to go down to cabelas and pick up a switch/fuse panel to start the wiring. [/QUOTE]
