[QUOTE="muskiemike12, post: 351261, member: 4897"] I have the exact same boat, but a 1974 model. The braces should help some. When I removed the benches from my boat the sides sprung out at least 4 inches. If you do put a deck in the front it will help hold it together better. You can run angle from one side to the other and that will really stiffen it up. You are right about the 3/4 ply on the floor. As long as you are under 200# a 4x8 sheet fits in there perfect and you will not need any further supports for the low floor. [/QUOTE]
