[QUOTE="ober51, post: 100492, member: 1354"] Take a look at various mods on the sticky at the top of the page. There are many ways to skin a cat. Aluminum is best but costly. I used 2x2s and Simpson Strong Ties. Make sure to use a buffer between the galvanized strong ties and the aluminum boat, as corrosion may occur. I used gasket material, there are other choices like shower liner someone used. If I had to do it again, I might consider doing 2x4s, but i like the way mine came out, so I can't complain. Like I said before, check all the mods out, but 2x2s and 2x4s are a good option. Don't use pressure treated wood. Just use regular wood, and water seal it. I would also use marine or spar varnish, you can literally see the difference when it rains, the varnish parts repel water a bit better it seems. Never hurts to overdo it. Any more questions just ask, and good luck! [/QUOTE]
