[QUOTE="MrTotty, post: 322055, member: 2763"] I've got a 1986 Yazoo Flat bottom that I recently purchased and am working on getting sea-worthy. When I pulled all of the wood out I found three ribs that were/are cracked down the center. They have been welded, but seem to be cracking again. My plan is to cut them out (drill out the rivets) and have 3 new ones made. I've also thought about just drilling the rivets and adding some angle aluminum over top of the ribs on each side and replacing the rivets. Any advice on doing this? -Chris [/QUOTE]
