If there is a gab you could get your foot or anything else for that matter stuck in it. Not good, especially if you were running/underway. You have two choices, raise the floor up high enough to meet the front of the deck so there is no gap, or extend the front face of the bench down to meet the floor so there is no gap.  You’re going to have to find a way to support your floor anyway.  The ribs taper in at the center and you won’t have any floor support there. If you look at my build you can see that I laid horizontal supports to level the floor.  What are you plans for making the floor level?     </blockquote>
