[QUOTE="Shooterj2003, post: 489971, member: 31811"] I see some guys frame WTH 2x4’s,seems to me they’re adding way to much weight and bulk though it seems sturdy,I’m new at this but I’ve done house framing and seen boat framing and also seems to me if your adding to a metal boat metal framing is the best choice,Aluminum is on my mind also since most metal boats are aluminum( we don’t want problems with electrolysis)and I’m thinking aluminum framing though different slightly more tech than wood framing,way lighter with as I said less bulk saves room too.If I had to wood frame I would make plywood bulkheads with marine grade ply easier tech but costly material I would bet,my experience aluminum can be scrapped at a yard really cheap. As I said above though I am new at marine work,I was a Marine,served on many ships and rode many boats,but,my personal experience is a Coleman canoe and 12’ foot Grumman Jon boat,with 65 lbs Minnkota,which is my subject now -a fishing deck and some other mods and maybe modifying a small trailer to carry it( available I hope for less than $200.
