How old is the boat? New boats creak a lot until the castings / frame wear down the high spots. Old boats creak from just being loose. |

most of the noise seems to be comming from side rails,more so than pilons |

Maybe there are some mice or a gerbil inside your frame desperately trying to get out? Never hurts to check |
