[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 448300, member: 5461"] Actually, after looking at your pics more closely, you might get away with less work on the floor. The boat has a fairly flat bottom. You might be able to use a piece of plywood with a 2x4 running longways screwed to the bottom. The 2x4 will lay right in the bottom, going across the ribs, and the edge of the plywood will just rest on the ribs close to the gunwales. You can taper the floor as it goes forward. I once built a 14 v-hull like yours. I removed all the seats and laid down a plywood floor and built a raised front deck. It was quick and dirty, but it worked great for years.
