[QUOTE="Berk, post: 48511, member: 802"] I am a new member here and i would like to say that i would use aluminum angle for the frame with a composite plywood decking or some material that will not rot if it gets wet. The angle is lighter than wood supports. You can mount the angle to the support ribs inside that stick up with pop rivits or short screws. i would recomend pop riviting every 3 inches so it is sturdy enough to support the pressure and then the angle that will support the plywood you can bolt it all together to make a square and then set it in to top it off. Also i would put some stirofoam underneath it to help with bouyance. Becasue you are adding more wieght to the boat and these boats really arent made to stand up on leke bass boats. I just started mine so when i get some photos of it i will get them posted. [/QUOTE]
