[QUOTE="salexander, post: 37410, member: 615"] I considered doing them on edge, but was worried that might be too high for the deck. I believe the boat is a Richline (I think, and I have seen one that looked almost identical on here in a 76' model) - and its just under 5 feet wide - 5 feet at the top, but the tank seats are only 53" wide because of the curvature. If you think standing them up would be sufficient and not too high, then how far apart would they need to be to keep the deck from bowing? I wanted to use 5/8" plywood (again, I still do not know what type of wood to buy) to keep the weight down. Then on to the next problem - a 4 x 8 sheet wont work to make the whole floor because of the 53" width, but then if I turn it sideways, I have to use 2 sheets, which I have not figured out yet how to affix those together to be able to carpet over it when finished and set it into the boat as one big piece.... I looked for a 5 x 10 sheet, but that is not very common around here. [/QUOTE]
