[QUOTE="kmcghee, post: 455310, member: 23921"] Hi, I am a new user here, I have a 1979 Smokercraft Zepher 16' that I am working on. I have restored the seats, transom, stern tray, capped all the wood seats with diamond plate aluminum. I am waiting for delivery of a new 40hp Yamaha 4 stroke for it to replace the 15hp. With the large motor I want to put flooring in on top of the ribs, so as to keep feet dry, more comfortable etc. I have searched as well as gotten to page 40 of the mods section to try to find ideas but all I get is either foam floors in jon boats covered with rubber or deck conversions away from the bench seats style to bass boats style. I need the seat style as I use this boat in my army reserve unit and bench seats are more practical. I was hoping rather then spending my week sorting through each thread, if anyone who has added flooring can chime in with pics of how they did it for ideas I would be grateful. I do want to make the flooring removable as well as find a way to make them be able to placed higher flush with the top of the seats so I could lay down and sleep on top during army training.
