[QUOTE="gwenning, post: 270786, member: 7808"] After getting all my framing in it was time to start working on the floor and the casting deck. I settled on 5/8" plywood, waterproofed it and carpeted with 20oz gray marine carpet from cabela's. After seeing all the research done by jay415 on glue I used regular carpet glue on the flat spots and then wrapped it with dap contact cement. It worked like a charm. The front casting deck posed some challenges because the deck is over five feet wide and just over five feet long. Standard 4x8 plywood sheets meant that I would have to do it in two pieces. After making a template and getting the sheeting right I made two pieces and the secured it with 2x4 blocks down the center that fit perfectly in the channel on my framing and increased the security. The floor was really simple, since the base of the floor is 48in wide I just had to notch it then lay carpet over it. The weight of the wood and the notching meant that I wouldn't have to secure the plywood to the floors [/QUOTE]
