[QUOTE="BillG, post: 240765, member: 7424"] I did not suggest wood framing because of weight. I was thinking more on the lines of less because of rated capacity. I don't know how big your boat is or what the weight capacity is, but it is something to think about. I like working with aluminum angle and flat stock because it is lite weight, does not rot and is easy to work with. JD is right about JB weld cracking under certain conditions. I was just referring to it as an adhesive type material to help hold an item in place. I have used 5200, marine tex and water weld. They all have good adhearing qualities. I just like to attach things for a more solid foundation. Just more ideas and opinions to think about. That's what I like about this site. Gather information and do what I want! [/QUOTE]
