[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 353879, member: 1523"] Honestly depending on what he's doing, it shouldn't be. My build started as a 1448mv and has held up fine with just a set of engine mount stringers on top of the ribs from the transom plate to the rib in front of the motor. I also welded an additional 1" x .125" piece of angle to the keel more for the bow extension than the rear. I will suggest doing some framing up higher when you support your deck. Just understand the forces involved and don't overbuild any one part of it. My stringers are 3/16 and everything else is 1/8" max. The hull is .063, most of the rest is .080 or .100" sheet metal. Check out my build, it's worked very well for the last couple years and the hull is very stiff. [/QUOTE]
