[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 452298, member: 15636"] [b]Transom[/b] - I’d have to see some better pictures of the transom bend to really advise, but from what I see, the design itself inhibits truly straightening it out, i.e., that weird feature where the transom ‘straight across part’ meets the ‘curved up part’; done as almost 2 compartments or features. I’d probably just adhere prepped wood (NOT pressure treated wood!) to the inside with maybe a smaller piece on the outside, that might just tie the 2 together and reduce the bend. [b]Floor[/b] - You know, a floor doesn’t need to be absolutely flat or level to safely walk on. On small skiffs, I perefer to keep elweifht at a minimum. I just throw in a piece of 9/16 to 5/8 ply, all sealed w/ deck paint, but edges filled w/ epoxy. I cut them fore-to-aft wider than the space between the seats, but cut a notch to fit around the center seat support. Then just add simple cribbing in a few spots to support it and hold it in position. I have sketch on here somewhere about that process. Works ... simple, light weight and cheap. [/QUOTE]
