[QUOTE="Specknreds, post: 56317, member: 801"] Are the ribs rounded or square? Pictures would help... If rounded, is the rib made out of thin Alum. with little indentions or cripples another words they are not smooth? If so, your probably better off fabricating new ones and rivet back into place. If square, WW said the best method. If you can't weld it, Then you are going to need to fabricate flanges on both sides of the channel and rivet into place. I had one with a couple of broke ribs that I simply put a plywood floor in and left the ribs alone. It lasted for years, but the boat stayed at the lake and I didn't trailer it. [/QUOTE]
