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 :D :D
