[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 38116, member: 55"] Originally, my boat had these running down the sides. [img]https://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z250/dmion/yazoocarpet034.jpg[/img] They attached to the hull, and were bent outward to cover the ribs. As you can see, they were pretty bent, and had many holes. Seeing as I didn't have many places with exposed hull left, I was going to either try to find two good, straight sections, or just make some more out of .025 aluminum. But, I realized that in these two places, especially behind the seat, I would want to be able to strap down coolers, portable bait wells etc. So, I figured I need to leave the ribs open. Originally, I was going to run my carpet over the ribs, but then I realized that I wouldn't want to have to deal with carpet when mounting accessories to the ribs, so I sprayed them a gloss black, and cut my carpet around them. I measured so my carpet would run across the deck, and up the side of the hull, not the rib. Then, I measured, and cut out the slot for the rib. [/QUOTE]
