I cut my foam, between the ribs varies from 15.5 inches to 14. What is available is 1/2 or 3/8 inch plywood. I'm thinking about just going with the 3/8, as it will all be supported underneath. Then I'm gonna try that foam sealer along the sides of the floor, hopefully I can keep the mud out...

I'm sure I can find the answer here somewhere, but I'm kind of in a hurry, of course. I'm putting a floor in my jon, I've got the fiber board cut for in between the ribs, and was wondering how heavy of plywood I need. I'm thinking as long as it's supported completely underneath, 7/16 should be...

I would think parts would still be available somewhere, them are great old motors and there is a lot of them still running.

Been browsing for a couple days, and finally joined up. Looks like a lot of good info and tips on this site. I've got 2 tinboats, a 16' Lund with a Merc 25 and an old Monark 1648 jon with a 15 Johnson. Like them both, but love fishing the small lakes and rivers with my old jonboat. Plan on doing...
