[QUOTE="Tim Kelly, post: 449449, member: 21245"] Thanks, I had looked at that, but it's a rolled edge and not so easy to attach to, also I need access to the underside of the deck and would ideally like the deck to extend underneath the foredeck to give extra storage space to just stuff things under, but leave them accessible. I was looking at the sealed rivets, combines with a bead of marine sealant to give the angle bracket along the side as good a level of adhesion and strength as possible. The bench seats are riveted in, so presumable it's possible to get a good watertight seal with blind rivets, especially in combination with sealant. Would there be much advantage to using 18mm ply over 12mm? I was hoping to save some weight with the thinner ply. [/QUOTE]
