[QUOTE="keppdog2, post: 90281, member: 1639"] [img]https://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj117/TRAVISKEPLER/EXSMALLBRACE.jpg[/img] I do have some bracing it just does not go as high... What if I cut out my front seat, and then put in braces like they did but make them start all the way at the top? What guage aluminum should I look at using for the braces? Maybe Ill put braces on the ribs on either side of where the seat was located. Giving me a total of 2 per side. If I use the 2x2 floor method with the strong tie anchors, how should I attach them to the front of the boat? I cant really screw thru the existing deck because the sheet metal is so thin I dont think it will bit very hard even with self tappers. Or would I be better off constructing a new wall across the boat out of aluminum angle, and rivit it inot the sides of the boat, and then framing with 2x2's to the front? Ill do some sketches tonight of my ideas and post them tomorrow... [/QUOTE]
