[QUOTE="Jeffrey, post: 300215, member: 10686"] The floor of my boat is 51" for most of its length. But, the ribs are 1.5" high. If my floor sits at the level of the ribs, it starts out at around 52.5" wide and narrows over the length of the boat. If I go with standard size sheets of either plywood or sheet metal, then if I want each piece to span the entire width I will have to cut each piece longways and the have quite a bit of waste. Do most of you will floors wider than 48" try to make each piece span the width or do you put bracing on the hull midways and have multiple pieces span the width of the boat? [/QUOTE]
