I do have one more question though ( for now ![]() the deck are all side mounted to the stringers (most are just screwed into the stringers and not bolted through etc). I am replacing them all but had a different idea I wanted some feedback on. As is: Verticle deck supports 1x2's untreated are screwed into hull stringers and then again screwed into the deck stringers above which were 1x4's 1/2 inch untreated rotted wood. My idea: Verticle deck stringers as 4"x4"s pressure treated and cut out to fit over the hull stringers then bolted through. I wouldn't set the 4x4's directly on top of the stringers yet put a small foam pad there and leave like and 1/8 inch. My thought was that would avoid a hard support but also provide a better mounting system. Ideas? Is it overkill? bad idea? I want to get this done before the end of the weekend, but also want to do it right. Thanks in advance! Mark. Mark- although there are good reasons to switch to pressure-treated wood in the hull components, I can't think of a good reason to switch from a 1x2 to a 4x4. Trust in the original (structural) design. If you're replacing "rot", do so with pressure treated of the same dimensions. Added weight may undermine the hull design.
