Thanks Dale - my plan is a piece of angle running the length of the open floor. I like the rivnut idea, I do have some but thanks for the offer!

Here is the boat so far

I'm at the point where I would like to lay down the carpet/vinyl/foam (seadeck) and can't decide which or what to do. I used multiple pieces of aluminum (free discarded road signs) to lay down as the support on top of foam. The other question would be should I go ahead and rivet the floor down...
