[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 258505, member: 6937"] That must have been a factory designed floor. Like I said, if it's done RIGHT (and apparently it wasn't in the case you describe) there shouldn't be any flexing. My jetboat has .062" floor, haven't had any of the problems you describe. But then again, I built it, not the factory. I had an identical floor in my old 14 foot dura craft, and I used that boat for commercial oystering and crabbing. Once, I had 22 bushels of oysters in that boat (at 60 lbs per bushel) as well as 2 people. True, we were about an inch from going under at the bow, but....all that weight and abuse never affected the integrity of the floor. [/QUOTE]
