[QUOTE="Zum, post: 90293, member: 349"] I'm not sure but I don't think you have seen this page yet. I havn't looked at any in a long time but here is one that I noticed using aluminum. https://tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3811 Theres plenty more there some with wood some with aluminum. Aluminum more expensive but won't absorb water,last longer and is lighter. Need rivet gun or weld. Wood cheaper,may be easier to work with,more forgiveing but more maintenance.Stainless screws,water proofing. NO PRESSURE TREATED WOOD. Anyways have a look at some of them mods,yours is do-able. Taking the seat out and putting higher braces on either side just might be the trick and I know that little front deck doesn't have to come out,just add to it.A plus might be that you won't have to take the floatation out the front little deck...if there is any there.
