[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 367445, member: 13702"] I don't know that you're going to support the bottom much by adding floor without also filling the void under the floor with foam. If you can add a rib that will help - but even my boat which wasn't missing any ribs still flexed considerably between the ribs when I'm on anything choppier than looking-glass still water. I poured expanding foam under my decks, which also served stop the flexing, but makes drainage tricky. My next boat is likely to be an Excel due to the design of running the ribs lengthwise down the bottom of the boat rather than perpendicular to the keel line as most jons are built. [/QUOTE]
