[QUOTE="RStewart, post: 431796, member: 278"] Nice boat. I can't wait to see what you do with it. A few tips for when you paint it, the self etching primer goes on real thin. Basically you should be able to barely see through it. Then a full primer job with regular primer which you then cover with paint. You can put the self etching on thick but it's just wasting the primer & money. I've also been told it's good to use primer from the same brand of paint you're going to use. As far as the floor goes, if you don't want to add the extra aluminum you can take the blue or pink sheet foam & cut it up to fit the spaces on each side of your stringer. Then set your floor on that. The foam will provide plenty of support as long as the floor is resting right on it. [/QUOTE]
