Not telling you how to build your boat but, mine is 3/16" thick all the way around and I've hit everything under the sun with it and NO damage. Something you may want to consider. Also, I have a 6" catwalk on top of mine. What type of ribs are you looking at for it? Just trying to get an idea so maybe, I could be of some help to you.
If you want to try one out, you are welcome to take a ride with me in mine next time I have it out. It's similar in numbers minus the width. Let me know and we'll try to line something up if ya interested.
