[QUOTE="Average_Joe, post: 380123, member: 17308"] Great information. I will definitly do as you stated above and leak test the boat prior to floor boards. As of right now my framing is only floating on the angle, nothing has been mounted yet, only mocking up right now this way I can still pull the framing prior to full install to weather treat the frame work. As fore the structural reinforcement, I am relieved to hear that we had the same concept on how to go about doing so. This is my first build, and I am definitly a novice in this field, but I am already catching the "Aluminum Boat modification" bug. Some day down the road I would love to find an old bass tracker style boat, 16-18ft on craigslist to scoop up for cheap and goto town with. Next step, will be reinforcing the stern, and building the storage compartment. Considering the aspect of weight, what would you guys recommend for thickness plywood for the floor, and possible side storage boxes. Do you think I can get away with 1/2", or shall I run with 3/4" throughout? [/QUOTE]
