Hello everyone.
Just picked up my first tin boat. It's a Lund WC14, deep V, absolutely stock as it came from the manufacture. First project I have in mind is to put in a wood floor. I plan on useing 1 1/2" X 1 1/2"x 1/8 alum. angle and square tubeing 12" on center for the frame and put 1/2" plywood on top of that. The span on the tubeing will be about 4' at the longest. Think that will be strong enough?
When it comes to fastening the ply, I'm a little concerned about what type of fastener to use. Screws won't have much bite going into 1/8" alum tubeing. Is this something to worry about or not?
Thanks.
