Hey guys, this is a little bit of a cross post. I asked a question about these braces in my rebuild thread but that’s a pretty sleepy long time thread that I’m afraid doesn’t get a whole lot of visits. So sorry about the cross post but I need to know;
is there a tutorial on adding chine braces or 16/18 foot starcraft mariner super sports etc.
I need to order solid rivets and sheet material. I’m thinking about using .080 inch aluminum to rebuild my front V bench. Wondering if that will suffice for chine braces.
Also should I use 5052 x 5/32” rivets?
if anybody could give me some approximate dimensions, Number of rivets that would be great.
Also wondering if I can attach these braces to the ribs instead of the bottom of the boat? I would like to avoid as many potential leak points as possible.
Thanks in advance
