[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 270607, member: 7537"] The cost of the aluminum is a major factor you need to think about in your build. The benefit is that all the framing you put into your mod will be the last time you have to do it...wood is a cheaper alternative, but you might have to replace sometime in the future. I found that 3/16 rivets work well, and self-tapping aluminum screws were the easiest to work with. There are many ways that you can secure the wood to the framing. I do not suggest using any type of glue. SS bolts and self tapping screws will work just fine. The best way to secure the aluminum framing would be to weld all joints.....if you have the means and money. I will weld everything on my next boat....just my 2cents. [/QUOTE]
