[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 480566, member: 15636"] I agree 110%, as it is way [i]too easy[/i] to add weight to a small hull and if/when weight is added anyway, it should be as low as possible for stability. As a cheaper option, I found some ~2x3 floormats for $5 each (made of foam pieces like you see on 'flip flop' sandals) at my local Dollar Store. The little pieces are also hinged together, so they covered any ribs really well! I put them in as a [i]fast [/i]floor option, for an easy path to the bow of the boat, but they worked out so well that I bought more, zip-tied them together, and now they completely cover the floor. They are also light in weight, allow for drainage (or simple removal for cleaning) and provide for a VERY secure footing whilst moving around.
