[QUOTE="WTL, post: 26677, member: 351"] Jim - you are right if I am just trying to avoid feeling the console move, I think I could solve that problem. The only thing is, I am thinking there is the possibility that this console bending like it has has been a blessing in disguise, IE it has made a structural problem very obvious that I need to fix. A floor would probably dampen any feeling of the console moving, but if it doesnt correct the structural problem then I am still at ground zero. Of course there is a possibility that what is being amplified here is harmless and present in any boat....the question is where is one overreacting, and where is something a problem. I think if anyone else drove the boat though, they would be scared when it happens too. I am going to have to look extra hard for stress marks when I start disassembling, but it didnt leak yesterday. Here is a paint file of what I think I am going to do, with iron angles going up the middle...attach the console to the iron angles which are riveted into the top of the ribs... [/QUOTE]
