[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 484913, member: 22139"] Jeez that's a tough one. The aluminum is obviously fatigued and further stress will cause more cracking. This may cost a few bucks but what if you fabricated some aluminum rod storage boxes? 14gauge perhaps. The boxes would replace the gussets and bolt or rivet to the benches and hull at the gunwale. If you could get a flat bar stiffener underneath the bench (if accessable) even better. My thinking here is the boxes would lend some rigidity and share the load along the length. If this isn't an option, maybe some gusset sides that overlap the existing seat brace and fasten also to the bench sides. A left and right piece for each bench end.
