[QUOTE="cyclops2, post: 492764, member: 32141"] 1/4"thick EXTERIOR Plywood for the floor that is sealed with a EXTERIOR PAINT on all edges and sides at least 2 coats. Do not block the floor grooves in any way. Bilge pump in a S S cage to keep junk out of it. Mount it at the transom in either corner. Then a bow up & a sharp turn will place all the water at the bilge pump. the 2... 4' x 8' floor sheets can be held in place with 1" dots of silicone rubber in a few places. The dots will pull loose for any major floor cleaning needed. A new piece of NON P T plywood for the transom will be needed. Lots of simple small projects. I use 2 gas tanks with my 2 stroke Evinrude 30. A 14 gallon main tank and a RESERVE 6 gallon tank. same hose connectors. tank are in the bow. A size 24 battery in the stern in a covered battery box glued to floor board. i built a side mounted console for all controls. There is also a removable cushioned chair with padded armrests for relaxing. Bow & stern anchors to keep the sun at my back. Think a LOT. Cut 1 time. Enjoy :) [/QUOTE]
