[QUOTE="ChitownBasser, post: 241861, member: 7721"] Sky, it's definitely worth a shot to go out on the big lake for BIG smallies, when it's calm. You live around a lot of forest preserve lakes. Also I am not sure where you could launch on the Desplaines River but there is some fishing to be had there (pike, bass). Also jump on 55 and go out to the cooling lakes. Today I have started my back decking after getting some supplies at Home Depot. Strong ties are not as expensive as I thought. It will be completely removable btw. Layout seem to be going okay. [img]https://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv122/puente03_photos/2012-02-11_12-16-13_HDR.jpg[/img] I bought an aluminum angle bar to split in half and attach to the transom. My back of my deck frame would rest on the angle bar attached with two screws to hold my deck down. It's still a work in progress. I am working on some cross bars for further support. My question is how should I rest the frame on the rib of the boat (look at picture below)? Should I notch out the wood to curve to the rib of the boat? Should I use some sort of bracket to hold my wood footing? Keep in mind that I don't want to attach my wood frame to the boat. BTW in the picture, nothing is screwed yet. My leg piece might end up being under the actual long cross bar as opposed to the side like in the picture.
