Thank you. I took the V-hull bunks off and moved them to the outside of the guides to use as walking planks. I used treated 2x10s (16 ft long) under the three 'toons. To counter the bouyancy of the treated lumber, I used two 5 ft long 4 inch diameter PVC pipes with end caps and filled them with concrete. I used metal strapping and bolts to secure them to the inside of my cross I-beams. They probably weigh 80 lbs each. If the wood bunks don't work long term, I'll buy aluminum bunks, but I think they will work out well.

Beautiful boat!!!
 
Gorgeous boat, congrats. After it's broke in let us know the top speed, I'm curious what the SPS hull does with a 175.
 
Going to be a great summer
 
Beautiful build!! I really like the functionality of the Swing Back layout. Best of luck and congrats!
