[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 479710, member: 15465"] Find a source of reasonably priced aluminium angle. Your going to need a bunch of it. You will want to attach the jet ski tunnel insert to angles running fore-aft. Those need to be attached to the existing cross ribs & the transom if possible. The more you can tie the structure together the better. You will have 80 hp pushing on the transom & it needs to transmit that force to the rest of the boat without the engine/pump alignment flexing. A suggestion is to rivet your bracing in & then take it to a weld shop to have them run some beads. [/QUOTE]
