[QUOTE="zachw, post: 443290, member: 22331"] Possible? bad idea? I have a riveted boat with a slightly rounded hull where these ribs are attached. The ribs have cracked in a few places and need replacing. Possible to remove, replace with some wide (4"?) 1/8" flat bar and bolt or rivet back up? Any reason why I should have new ribs fabricated vs just bend some bar? Because of the rounded hull I think having custom ribs fabricated will be more trouble than it's worth. [/QUOTE]
