[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 252594, member: 3438"] In my experience, it is very hard to prevent water wicking between the plywood and sheet aluminum. And once it happens, it never drys out. Multiple holes in the alum might prevent that. Still think I'd prefer something on the inside. My first thought was one horizontal brace (same direction as cross ribs), but it would be too long to get through the access hole. Then two parrellel ones running perpendicular to the the cross ribs. Hopefully, the 3M 5200 will be dry enough so I can get in the boat and feel around inside to figure out exactly what the challenges are for the support poles. [/QUOTE]
