All of the joists and ledgers are 2x8, don't have room for bigger or else I would have gone 2x10, however according to the online calculators I should be fine. They will span 10' at the furthest then a 18" over hang. I will block all the joists and have double rim joists.

To give an idea of the old deck, I have pictures of the stairs stringers that go up to the pool deck, and they were attacked to the single rim joist with uncoated nails. All were rusted and simply pulled away during demo. Hardly a screw or nail came out in one piece, all were rusted and broke or just pulled out. Scary stuff when I have a 3 year old running around on it. My buddy putting his foot completely through a deck board was the final straw.
