[QUOTE="ChrisAW, post: 207226, member: 5779"] Thanks guys! I really do like this boat, while I could always use a slightly bigger one, if he ever thinks of selling it I will be first on the list of buyers, thats for sure. Basicly what we did was use some 1x2 steel rectangle tubing welded to the outside of the main beam, level with the top, to bring out some supports for whatever mounts you may need to use for your bunks. Depends on the style you want to use, you may be able to get away with using a different kind of tubing or something different all together. Ours just had to come out about 12 inches to put the bunks where we needed them, and we stuck with the original bunk brackets, which are just the simple c shaped brackets with something like 10 bolt holes on each side. Then we just gusseted those bars so that the main beams walls wouldn't flex under the load, the gussets extending passed the bottom of the main beam and then connected to each other, so that they are basically one piece, instead of relying on the main beam to support the load.
