[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 66309, member: 169"] I used 2x3's in my build only because local stores only carry 2x2's in pressure treated, and that is a nono in aluminum hulls. If they were around I would have used 2x2's because they do cut down on weight and are plenty strong enough especially if using 1/2" ply. But in hindsite, I have not noticed any negative effects from the added weight of the deck. It if noting else seems more stable. I used to notice before decking the boat that it would lean a whole lot with weight being distributed when people moved around. Since decking it I find it rides much more flat in the water with less lean when people are moving around. [/QUOTE]
