[quote=dmgbear55]The early boats didn't have this piece inside the beams. I don't think it would be too difficult to retrofit an older boat to have these added bits. It would solve a lot of beam problems and I am sure that is why NACRA finely added it. But riveting the beam straps to the beam accomplishes much of the same thing.[/quote]
