[QUOTE="Mrtoler, post: 295597, member: 9430"] Ya i'm sure it's alot safer, and since I really want her to fish with me I guess I'll do it her way...I did alot of cleaning on the boat today, mostly getting all the tiny pieces of foam and wood out and it was a task in itself but for the most part it's done....I do need a bit of help though, I noticed after cleaning I took the water hose and really sprayed the inside down and most of the channels for drainage where plugged under the supports...I took the nozzle on the hose and flushed most of them out pretty easily but towards the reattach they are plugged tight and the design dosent really make sence either, but I can fix that. My question is should I take some foam sheets and make a layer above the channels and seal it off where debris can't get in there then finish filling with foam on top of that? Seems like if I made a small pocket across the whole floor it would help solve the problem of it getting stopped up! My other question is what is the main reason for steelflexing the bottom of the boat? I see alot of people do it but I've never really heard a reason why? [/QUOTE]
