[QUOTE="AviatorJones, post: 499063, member: 33494"] Hey folks, New here and trying to update the boat my father in law gave us a couple years ago. Been scrolling through some of the build threads here an y'all have some really nice setups! Definitely something to aspire to! I would like to build a deck from the transom up to where a seat is currently mounted (2nd rib away from transomin pic) to protect/hide the recent electrical work I did. I was thinking of attaching a piece of angle as the cross-member to the rib but can't wrap my head around how to attach the angle to the rib. Does anyone have pics of attaching angle (or should I use square tube?) to a rib for creating a cross-member? I have several ideas in mind but can't wrap my head around what the best method is. I know I'm overthinking it, so looking for some help getting out of analysis paralysis. Pic of the rib attached below. Thanks, CJ [/QUOTE]
