[QUOTE="poolie, post: 82925, member: 837"] Welcome Matt, I wouldn't worry too much about the ribs not running up the sides. My opinion is that you want to transfer your load down to the ribs. There's nothing wrong with side supports I just don't think you need it. The frame I built for my Alumacraft front deck doesn't touch the sides of the boat. Now I did cut my deck tight enough to the sides of the boat to prevent any lateral movement that might sneak in. So are you decking up to the level of the middle bench or going a little lower?
