[QUOTE="yareelohim, post: 309361, member: 11169"] Sgt tee... For the 2x2 that goes between the bracing ribs on the bottom of the boat, I measured and taped them in place with masking tape. I then laid the plywood floor down, marked the previous measurements on top and screwed through the plywood to the 2x2. If you do that, be careful not to screw in too far with the first screw or you will spin the 2x2 bracing around. Get two screws in per one 2x2 before tightening down. The 2x2 laid out and measuring the positions. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ImageUploadedByTapatalk1365375814.584758.jpg"]50523._xfImport[/ATTACH] The 2x2 now attached to the floor. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ImageUploadedByTapatalk1365375857.247182.jpg"]50524._xfImport[/ATTACH] As for the 2x4. These were tricky since the hull is a semi-v and the boat ribs are angled. I had on use a level and compound miter to cut the correct angle so the deck would sit flush.
