[QUOTE="hunterfishercamper, post: 241545, member: 7735"] After looking at other boats on here I am going to redo the back floor. I was rushing when i put it in and didnt plan for drainage. I like when other people have left the floors hinged or removable so that is my plan. That way I have access to every inch of the bottom for repairs/tightening rivets/cleaning/etc. Plus I already lost several screw, bolts, and even a couple tools under the current floor. On another note, I was looking at other projects and noticed some people had longer boards on the outside of their transom. Would this help to strengthen the transom some? Also, what is the best wood to use for here. I was contemplating buying a long cutting board and installing it here. It will outlast the boat and can take a beating. (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Thick-White-NSF-Cutting-Board/dp/B001DI5VCA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1328857497&sr=8-4) [/QUOTE]
