[QUOTE="JustinS, post: 382588, member: 15715"] Continuing on... Stole an hour or so tonight to get my floor started. I'm going with a combination of foam cut to fit in between the floor ribs, with a rubber mat over the top. I'm going to paint the sides of the floor where the rubber mat ends black so that your eye isn't drawn to that area. Should drain water pretty will for when I'm getting in and out of the boat. I'm debating how I want to hold the foam down so it provides flotation in addition to insulating my feet on those cold mornings while Duck hunting. [u]Should I use aluminum flat stock laid over the top of the foam and riveted to the ribs, or rivet the rubber mat to the ribs?[/u] Here is what I got done tonight: [img]https://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo239/sbrar-15/Duck%20Hunting/70781efa-2371-493d-a99e-7d6d9dd2e9b6_zpsaqiwpiys.jpg[/img] [img]https://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo239/sbrar-15/Duck%20Hunting/20150414_214252_zpsdhppf2u1.jpg[/img] This is going to be the layout for my gas tank and battery box. You can see where I ran the gas line and battery cables down the sides of the boat held in by the side ribs. [img]https://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo239/sbrar-15/Duck%20Hunting/20150414_212711_zpsbriraaqb.jpg[/img] Tomorrow night I plan on cutting up some aluminum angle to finalize the battery box and fuel tank locations. 8) [/QUOTE]
