[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 335568, member: 11717"] ha the welders are here, the blast cabinet is at work. plus i changed my mind- just gonna paint the recess to match the deck. thanks for the compliment! i hope it works good! quick shot of the piers mocked up. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20131130_101912.jpg"]58825._xfImport[/ATTACH] i notched the top of the angle, then bent it to match the profile of the hull, then clamped that to the table and welded the notches shut. i will transfer holes through the stringers, then put rivnuts into the stringer and bolt the angle to the hull. i think the piers themselves will be bolt-ins to allow for movement so this thing doesnt get too racked up on the trailer or in temperature changes. the part that contacts the angle bolted to the hull will just be thru bolted. on the weldment i will either weld another short piece of angle underneath and bolt to that, or transfer the hole and use a rivnut. decisions decisions.
