So after 5 years of cruising around on my old boat and checking craigslist I found a "cheap" and local third tube to add on to my old pontoon boat. I purchased a 23' and 23" diameter with a transom and 38 gallon fuel tank. I am planning on adding the center tube about 12-16" back from the other tubes. I plan of beefing up the structural soundness to compensate for the extra tube by adding some more ribs to the deck.
Since this will be my first time adding a third tube to a pontoon boat I am hoping to tap into you'alls vast knowledge and not make stupid mistakes and hopefully have a smooth install. I will be pulling up the deck and replacing it, but that is another post.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

P.S. I have access to a shop with tig welder, chain hoists, tools, and a backyard mechanic degree.
