[QUOTE="TrackerTom, post: 93077, member: 1679"] I forgot to mention that it still needs one piece of trim to cover the seam because it had to be 2 pieces for the floor in order to fit in there through the opening and some paint or bedliner coating. I am debating on using a piece of flat trim or to use a piece of angle. If I use the angle it would increase the strentgh quite a bit, but the angle would have to point up and make a lip on the floor because the floor is only about 1 inch from the hull bottom and I don't want any chance of rubbing on the hull. The lip could be kind of neat actually because stuff that was on the front part might have more of a tendancy to stay put when you pulled something out that was in the part closer to the door. I used 1/8 inch aluminum for all of it so it's amply strong as it is most likely. I'm also debating on putting 1-2 batteries in this compartment or building another (more likely) compartment in the front left part of the floor to put them in to help balance the boat a little better. It could use a little weight on the left side and on the front. Still thinking a bit on that too. I see that a lot of you guys have put some of the batteries up front to help the weight distribution.
