[QUOTE="pegleg, post: 414362, member: 21177"] Now for the fun part. Well at least the polystyrene is easy to handle. I used 1 1/2" thick and exterior 3/8" ply for the floor. With the foam underneath the floor feels sturdy but after reinforcing the seat bottoms if I did it again I'd use 1/2" ply. 3 sheets of foam and 2 of the plywood. I chose 1 1/2" because that's the height of the ribs above the floor. Once the pieces are fitted between the ribs I glued a single solid piece on top. You can glue the poly with Gorilla Glue or the Expanding Foam filler. I have used both. [img]https://i63.tinypic.com/35k94c2.jpg[/img] [img]https://i66.tinypic.com/qrj346.jpg[/img] The front sheet stopped where the bow deck will meet. Now filling in the bow space with some more foam. It was easier to glue in pieces than try to shape a block to fit in the angled space. [img]https://i68.tinypic.com/fojhxw.jpg[/img] [img]https://i64.tinypic.com/15yb77.jpg[/img] The cover will be the forward wall in the under deck storage. With 3" of foam under the floor and the front cavity filled there should be more flotation than they originally had under the two seats. [/QUOTE]
