[QUOTE="Chaser0721, post: 421731, member: 21161"] After a long busy summer I finally have time to get back into working on the boat. I finished painting the top lip and inside of the boat, and then I used some West Marine boat epoxy that my friend gave me from one of his projects to seal the inside of the rivets and seams. There are no leaks but I did it just to be safe. I cut some holes in the front and rear benches in in order to access the storage areas underneath, I will need to reinforce the benches with wood struts for them to keep their structural integrity.

I framed the center floor area using 1x2's and floored it with 5/8 plywood. I built the floor so it sits above the ribs on the boat, and sits in the small lip around the sides of the inside wall. I'm wondering if maybe this makes the center floor too high from the bottom of the boat? [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160913_203644.jpg"]87778._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also used a template to cut the wood for the bow mount where the trolling motor and anchor winch are going to mount.
