[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 420958, member: 15636"] I'd say most a building their superstructure by angle aluminum suspended off the sides of the hull and using the seats as additional support. 1/8" angle seems to be the choice. Some appear to be using wood framing while others go all aluminum, depends on your skills and what you can find locally, as well as what tooling you may have to support riveted or welded structures, etc. Decks are mostly plywood with a few here using tin plate. Again i'd say budget, tooling/capability and availability dependent. Just don't use pressure treated wood anywhere and if you do use wood, seal it properly. Many methods used here, so I don't have a comment for one over the other, although I have my own preference. Ahhhhhh yeah, well the same type of thing has happened to me before, others too ... and I believe that when one puts a lot of detail and pictures into their post, some just skim it and miss the part where you may have been asking for help or other kind of questions or concerns. An elaborate or detailed posting almost gives the impression that ... [i]"you know what you're doing ..."[/i] So be like a 'tin boat' ... don't have a thick skin :lol: [b]Welcome aboard![/b] [/QUOTE]
