[QUOTE="dlmallory, post: 441984, member: 13386"] That time again. Looking at ideas on how I want to change up my boat. Well since I installed the floor 4 years ago, the boat has definitely been used a lot and finally after just getting back from camping a soft spot was found in the floor. I had previously sealed the 1/2in plywood with Thompson water seal and it lasted 4 years after. Cant ask for much better especially the beating its taken. I never did wrap it in plastic like I had previously considered but I think I may try that this time or I am considering using valspar urethane to coat the wood. Since pulling the floor out this will give me a opportunity to add some new compartments since I can never find enough space. re-route some wires and replace some foam insulation. I am looking for a recommendation on foam to be used. I have heard of people just using the foam board insulation from homedepot. Any suggestions? Also considering converting from a tiller handle to remote controls and steering wheel. Any suggestions or recommendations? The engine is an evinrude 1985 40 Hp. [/QUOTE]
