[QUOTE="Backslider, post: 278920, member: 8683"] Here are some photos of my boat project. As you can see in the photos, I removed the boxes and live well to get more space. I borrowed an idea I saw on this web site and reinforced the sides using aluminum "L" bar riveted to the gunnel and ribs, then used the exposed bars for rod holders. There is way less flex in the sides now than when it had the boxes in it--its real sturdy. I put in "D" ring tie downs on the deck and the sides. My wife and I plan on spending a few days putting down the Missouri River (below Ft. Benton) and I wanted a way to secure our dry bags, cooler, and other gear. Thanks to everyone who helped with the project! [/QUOTE]
