[QUOTE="UtahBassKicker, post: 133771, member: 2815"] I built the parallel or horizontal framing first. Then, on the furthest 2x4 to the rear, I measured straight down to where the transom support was and I took that measurement and cut a vertical 2x4 that bolted right to the transom support and screwed that to the horizontal framing. You can kind of see it this picture... [img]https://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/UtahBassKicker/Alumacraft%20Fishing%20Boat%20Mod/Bracing.jpg[/img] So the vertical 2x4 is bolted directly to the transom support and screwed to the upper, horizontal framing. On the sides I ran the front-to-back 2x4's level with the rear bench and they did not touch in the very back but there are some small styrofoam filled aluminum boxes (you can kind of see these in the picture too but you can really see what I'm talking about if you look at some of the pics on the first page of this project) on my boat so what I did was cut a small 2x4's (about 6 inches or so) and screwed that in vertically to the side 2x4's and then those rested on the aluminum boxes. I attached the 2x4's to the boat with some "L" brackets and that was it. I hope this helps. If not let me know and I'll take some better pictures for you. [/QUOTE]
