[QUOTE="Gblittle, post: 501013, member: 33969"] Hey y’all. First jon and first post here. Those of you that have added decking, did you notice any improved stability? Seems to me that decking would perhaps distribute weight, at least to some point, and possibly improve stability. I’m no structural engineer, just a theory. Also, what thickness did you use? If using foam padding between the ribs, is 1/2” overkill? Thanks in advance for your input, and looking forward to collaborating with everyone! Edited to add that mine is a 1436 Landau flat bottom.
