[QUOTE="Paul Marx, post: 299903, member: 10834"] Unless it's an old boat it has foam in the sets to act as floatation . I believe all noncomecial boats have to have floatation per U.S Coastguard . I would use 3M 5200 adhesive when attaching the flooring as well as Aluminum rivets when possible. The 3m will keep everything from rattling and also help the flooring from just relying on the screws or rivets. I used aluminum when i did my boat flooring 15 years ago . Last week was the first time I've taken it out and the 3m was still holding strong , but some of the rivets had given up . It took me all of an hour to take it all out , add sheets of foam , reaply the 3m and rivet it back down. [/QUOTE]
