[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 425176, member: 15266"] Jeff, I am uncertain what I will do for a floor, but I know I can get 1/8" (.125) 4x8 5052 marine grade aluminum for $150 a sheet. I do have a 5 degree dead rise so my floor has a V in it and I can't stand it. I was going to run aluminum angle across each crossbeam and Rivet it In a few places all the way across. This would give me a flat mounting surface. If the aluminum will flex too much I would just get marine ply and nautilex marine vinyl and be done with it. I actually had someone offer me $2750 for the tiller steer 20 jet so now I can just buy a bigger motor set up for console steer. What kind of top end are you getting with the 60/45? What is your minimum planing speed? Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
