[QUOTE="sturdi87, post: 133800, member: 2691"] First off, I'd like to start out by saying that I love the teeth on your rig, and the probability that I copy-cat you on that is pretty high. I already bought the paint actually, that is too cool. Good question, and good eye, because I haven't yet. The floor fits in there very snug, it is really nice and solid, but I am going to use some screws and screw it into the ribs on the edges in a few places along the length of the hull and also in the center to that beam which is riveted to the ribs. I still have things to put under it like the wiring harness for the 40hp as well as steering and controls for the 40. I have done basically everything by myself but I got the chance to sucker someone into helping me get the floor in the boat today, so I took advantage of that. I can lift up one side and prop it up by myself to do all of that stuff. Oh yeah, just for good measure, and since I had a couple of gallons laying around already, I put some thompsons water seal on the advantech. One thin coat just like the directions say, really probably overkill. If anyone has any questions about it feel free to ask. I am overall really happy that I went with the advantech. It is 3/4 so that might be a little overkill, but since I am doing this in pieces, with everything you see here up to when you see a pic of it on the water the first piece of the build, I'll make the flat floor work for now, and eventually I will be building decks. And that floor is solid, I mean solid, It is going to make building decks so much easier, it is going to be a great base. I am already thinking about decks, livewell, etc. I plan to use the sheet of advantech I have left over for the tops of the decks, framing with 2x2's, and using some thinner plywood, 3/8 or something, whatever I find a good price on and looks good, to "skin" anything.
