[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 87402, member: 1523"] I'd say the deck framing will depend on the skin thickness. I'm going .063" deck skin which is $108 a 4x8 sheet here so I did 1x1x.125 angle with a 12 max space between frame structures. Another thing I did is put three uprights per bulkhead to tei the deck into the hull ribs so it will be less prone to flex. Your project looks good, only suggestion would be to avoid the rivets and drill / tap for stainless hardware so you can take it back apart to get at leaks, wiring, rattling lures etc. Jamie [/QUOTE]
