[QUOTE="cyclops2, post: 494323, member: 32141"] If you are just going to carry about 4 to 6 in unexpected rough water ? salt & fresh water ? With at least 1 or 2 WALK THRU bulkheads ? Copying a modern 24' aluminum boat layout is REQUIRED !!!! Web posting by the DIY 16' guys is not recommended !! What use are you planning ? Or just a quick buck to sell it ? You do realize this boat WILL EAT up money & a good welder & lots of corner braces on the floor corners ? A FINE SAND BLASTING is a must . BEFORE any welding. There needs to be Long Storage boxes along the sides to prevent sides from flexing a lot again. I suspect the boat was used in salt water some time with so many bait tanks ? If so, there is a ton of salt in all the floor ribs being eaten up constantly. You need SKILL not DIY luck on this one. [/QUOTE]
