If your asking about the Strongties you can find them at Home Depot, they come in various sizes and models.

Yeah those would be great as long as you are talking about using them to tie the 2x4s together as long as they don't come in contact with the aluminum on your boat.
TPhanks devilmutt Im pretty sure thats what im looking for.This is the first time ive done this.Im trying to figure out this website. People will have to bear with me.I still havent figured out the profile or the map.

I second what Josh says. For anything contacting the boat, you can make some brackets out of aluminum angle. Also, be sure and use wood that is NOT pressure treated. The copper in treated wood will contribute to corrosion also. I used galvanized strong ties and L brackets on the deck frame, and where it was attached to the boat brace, made the brackets shown below. Good luck!

Great post guys. I want to use the strong ties 2x2 brackets, but didn't what to attach directly to the boat. Seeing an example of homemade aluminum brackets was just the inspiration I needed. =D> =D> =D> Thanks Earlo!
