[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 499064, member: 15636"] I'd use 1/8" thick 'L'-shaped angle, with a good 1-1/2" leg on each side and would affix to the ribs with good 1/4" high-shear rivets. I can get you the # of them from McMaster-Carr, sold in boxes of 25, they have the same strength rating at the rivets holding the boat together. If you need more holding strength, a block of wood vertical up the rib would give you more surface to affix the block to the tall rib, just don't use PT wood.
