[QUOTE="Coersum, post: 378732, member: 16768"] Yes this is half the reason why I am unsure about the floor (the fact that those little boat are tippy and the weight). If I do add a floor, it will only be about 2" to 3" off the bottom. Another idea was to make a curved floor so that I don't have the ribs in the way when walking, forming pink foam with heat in between the ribs (already did one to test) and topping it with 2 layers of 1/8 plywood glued together with epoxy for both rigidity and form "keeping" since it would be curved to the top of the ribs. Another idea I also tested is to do like this guy did on his 12 ft https://forums.iboats.com/forum/boat-repair-and-restoration/boat-restoration-building-and-hull-repair/359418-1968-12-foot-mirrocraft-aluminum-boat-mod to keep the floor as low as possible. For now, I might just use foam mats in between the ribs, rubber mats being as heavy as a wood floor to reach the half inch needed to come to the top of the ribs. [/QUOTE]
