[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 407364, member: 20605"] I made some progress in the planning. I am going to cut the middle out of the center bench. In its place I am going to make a frame resembling a ladder with uprights on each end. These will attach to the sections of the center bench remaining on the boat. I have this for framing material. Its Bosch Rexroth structural aluminum. I work in a test lab and we use this material to build test benches. When the benches are scrapped, the stuff is usually just sent to recycler, so I grabbed a bunch years ago and its been sitting in my garage ever since [ATTACH type="full" alt="framing.JPG"]82588._xfImport[/ATTACH] This stuff is very strong and will work great to replace the support that the center bench provided. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ladder frame.jpg"]82591._xfImport[/ATTACH] And since I have a lot of this, and also the fasteners used to connect it at right angles, I may end up just framing the floor with it. Here is a sketch of my plan. The gray bars represent this framing. I may end up placing pieces running down the center as well. I will replace the floatation by putting it in the side compartments. Not sure on the seating yet, but it will be typical placements. Green areas would be decking/storage areas [ATTACH type="full" alt="drawing.JPG"]82590._xfImport[/ATTACH] any thoughts on my ideas so far? thanks [/QUOTE]
