[QUOTE="thedude, post: 467775, member: 23372"] Angle aluminum would be ideal to fix the ribs. If he is proposing what I think, this will ADD material to the horizontal flare on the u channel where it contacts the floor and have plenty of surface to tie into the vertical surface of the rib itself. You can see how thin the rib is on the flared flat edge which is the problem. You can remove that middle bench without any issues. The ribs on either side of the bench are providing the important structure. There are tons of tin boats operating just fine without them. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
