[QUOTE="BassMaster52, post: 248045, member: 7579"] Another portion of the project that I have been "whittling away at" is the floor. As you can tell from these pictures, the boat came with a piece of diamond plate flooring. My issue with the floor was that there was a substantial gap on either side of the floor where it did not butt up to the support ribs. If you've ever been crabbing I'm sure you can understand why this a problem. Lets just say I had a few dead crabs under the floor when I pulled it up. To attempt to solve this problem I decided to run a 6" wide strip of aluminum down each side and cut it to form around the ribs. I decided a template was a good idea here. I figured it would be easier to notch these out of wood first so that I was not grinding and filling on the aluminum strips for days. Here is a few pics of what I am talking about. [/QUOTE]
