Strengthening a boat hull
This is a 24 foot flat bottomed river boat. The cabin is aft, and that is very strong. The hull forward of the cabin worries me.

I was planning on using 3/16 aluminum for all, because that's what my mentor recommends, but it seems ...

New to forum
This forum and Jody's website are very useful. A lot of what's on the net is just hot smoke, but this place is different.
