[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 403398, member: 9937"] Well I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I was able to sneak in a little time to work on the boat New Year's Eve. On Thursday I picked up my aluminum for the decks. The metal supplier is also a scrap operation, I bought two 4x4 sheets of 1/16 aluminum scrap, a 4x8 of .063 for my front deck and sides. Front frame is constructed of 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 6061 aluminum angle (wish they had 6063), deck supports are made of 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1/8" square aluminum. If I had the choice I probably would have used 1/16" angle and square. I believe it would have been plenty ridged. However the supplier only had 1/8" in stock. I am chomping at the bit to finish this so I took what he had. Hopefully this weekend I can manage to finish the deck. Headed out deer hunting shortly. [/QUOTE]
