[QUOTE="thewalleyehunter, post: 307794, member: 7104"] Well I got a little more work done yesterday.....wasted a lot of time chatting with the guys at the marina and then some more time checking out the river.... :oops: So, I was finally able to pull the boat out into the sunlight thanks to the nice weather we had and get the floor supports done. I kept and used the wood center support that was previously in the boat when I got it. I wanted to eliminate the small amout of flex that there was, so I added some aluminum to strengthen it. What I did was....I notched out the wood to fit the aluminum angle pieces I used, then I used rivets to attach the framing to the ribs......doing it this way should help hold everything in place. I haven't fastened it down yet (floor to the supports), but just with the floor laying on top, it's sturdy as can be. [/QUOTE]
