Floor replacement question

#1 Post by psrujak » Sat Apr 20, 2019 5:58 am

When I took the floor off the 97 pontoon the front section I found a 4x4 bolted to the front of it with a large eye bolt. This was used to connect the winch to. What is the right way to do this or do I use the same setup? I am waiting for marine grade plywood to arrive. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

I would use a 1/4" aluminum angle across the width of the toon, bolt it to cross member

Would 2x2x.025x8 work?
