[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 175001, member: 55"] Last G3 I worked on (customer's 1652, either 2010 or 2011 model) had an all aluminum front deck (no plywood underneath, like some have), with the structure welded underneath. Best I could tell (as it was kicked around as to whether or not we cut into that for the rod locker) is there were lengthwise bulkheads, with an inch or so flange, top and bottom. The flange was welded to the underside of the deck, and the backside of the wall at the back of the deck. By standing at a certain angle, I could tell where the welds were (~3" stitch welds), as the distortion could be seen. These were spaced about 8 or so inches apart on each side of the boat (center had a lengthwise storage cubby, so the middle had a different method, altogether). Don't know if yours is built the same way, but they very well could be. I doubt you'll see a frame of extrusions, as when making cookie cutter boats, sheet formed in a press brake is much cheaper.
