[QUOTE="thill, post: 500310, member: 4972"] Great to see her running in the video. It looks like she runs well. Adding some gusset plates to each of the ribs has solved that problem in other boats. It might work for you. I'm trying to remember, but I think a friend or a customer matched the V in the bottom, and ran the gussets from chine to chine, with lots of rivets through the sides of the ribs. Made everything rock solid, and once that was done, he put a floor over it, and it's been great ever since. It will come to me who it was, but I remember those gussets. Not hard to do, even with modest skills. [/QUOTE]
