[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 477610, member: 15636"] One doesn’t necessarily need a full width floor ... even a 3’ or less ‘walk way’ gives you a flat floor for ease of moving around, or for mounting things too. But it improves stability as it keeps your weight low, plus adds less weight. In my tins I only add enough floor width to allow safe & easy passage fore to aft. But again, my use is significantly different than the small pond/flatwater guys, or the majority of tin boaters here, as I boat in saltwater tidal rivers where I navigate rips, currents to 5mph, wind chop & large boat wakes. So weight (less), initial stability (low center of gravity), and the best power-to-weight ratio (less weight added to hull) that I can maintain are BIG factors for me. [/QUOTE]
