[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 163948, member: 166"] Yep, you've got the same thought I have, the aluminum flex and how to prevent it. I know the answer is some type of frame work, I just don't have quite enough mechanical aptitude or mechanical engineering background to come up with it. I'm also with you on the wood or fiberglass, with the fiberglass being a better solution and one I'd like to do. But ultimately, I'm having to go back to plywood due to the fact I can pick up enough plywood for not only the transom, but also some of the decking. Plywood will weight more than the aluminum, but with this boat and if I don't use carpet, it may give the benefit of some desired (balancing) added weight up front and sound deadening. A consideration I hadn't thought of earlier. Choices, choices. I've about reached the "I want to take the boat off and work on the trailer, it's simple" point. More decisions than I originally expected on the boat. I'm wanting mindless labor for it's simple pleasures and dang if my engineering background didn't wake up and kick me. [/QUOTE]
