[QUOTE="mikejjmay, post: 448915, member: 23447"] So question, this picture is me standing on the middle seat, looking down and toward the bow, at the space between the middle and front seat. The rivet line along the sides are were the sides begin to slop up, essentially marking the edge of the floor of the boat. You will notice the ribs running horizontally do not go all the way to the edge. When i lay a board horizontally across the top of the rib, from rivet line to rivet line, the board is resting on the sides of the boat, essentially right next to the rivet line (since the ribs do not run all the way to the side). There is probably a 1/4" gap between the bottom of the board and the top of the rib. i see everyone running their floors all the way to the sides. Is it not an issue having the outsides of the floor resting/being supported by what is essentially the skin of the boat? or do i just need to make the floor smaller than the width of the boat, so it rests on this rib at the edges? Obviously, i will add support under where the center of the floor will be. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180320_172605.jpg"]96776._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
