Hey champ nice handy work. I hope you dont mind some advice I would seal the timber with a couple of coats of bondcrete or some other PVA sealer befor you carpet it otherwise the wood will asorb water and buckie and warp when it dries. hope i'm not sticking my nose in where its not wanted :whistle:

hey mate - I would also carpet the floor and then screw the hinges on. Looks good mate

[Runty66]

okay, havent done the hinges yet, they are just sitting there.. should i pop rivet them? or screw them?>

thanks

Hey man. Use rivets on it. Otherwise you will need to get aluminum self taping screws as you can't use normal mild steel or stainless screws as they are not compatible (electrolysis) the problem with aluminum screws is that they are quite weak and the self tapers won't last long. But other than that it's looking pretty sweet.

pop rivet to the AL and use SS screws to the timber

[madmullet]

its looking good buddy, good to se a young fella with some skills, espically to fit his own boat out, look aford to seeing the end product
