I havent really decided how im going to make a flat floor in it .. I have been reading posts .. I didnt want a high deck .. I seen something like foam and 1/4 inch wood .. but im not to much of a carpenter so maybe just go with rubber hole mats .. lol

thankyou! cant wait to flip it this week and start the inside
 
Great looking boat. Not sure where you are but the boat shop here Ak McCallum has flooring in rolls that they will sell pretty cheap. My wife bought me a bunch of rubber mats with fish on them. This is the pattern I got for mine. https://fishouflage.com/patterns/BASS_pattern.aspx
They fit just right in my old sears.
