[QUOTE="Scott1298, post: 317091, member: 8416"] B-e-t-w-e-e-n r-a-i-n-s-s-s-s I have drilled all the holes in the hull of the boat necessary before painting the outside (navigation/transom lights and bilge), and added a floor in the main area of the boat. It actually gives me another inch of floor width in the bottom of the boat (from 42" to 43")! Worried about rot and water-logging based on the amount of water that tends to lay in the back third of the boat when exposed, I skipped foam insulation and instead cut a piece of aluminum 3/4" square tubing for support at the ends to match the ribs on the floor of the boat. The half-inch urethaned plywood proves solid during extreme fat guy tests! :D [/QUOTE]
