ok i got her all stripped down and im going to start making my template first thing in the morning.i am a little undecided on what to use for bracing my deck.i would like to use 1" square aluminum tubing to keep the weight down,but i dont know if 1-8" mill will be strong enough to support the deck.the widest part of my boat is 57 1/2" at the very back.if anyone has worked with these materials i would appreciate any tips you would have to offer me.i will have some more pics up by monday.......

I have the same exact boat as you, I spent the last 4 months redoing her. Its a great boat for decking. Check out my build and see if it helps. good luck
