[QUOTE="scottphillips208, post: 363878, member: 14922"] Hi Y_J, An easy way to mark where the floor will meet the sides of your boat is to get the boat siting pretty level then fill it up a little bit with water. After the water has settled and isn't sloshing around, use a pencil to trace this inner waterline. After draining the water out then it's just a matter of taking measurements from waterline to waterline across the boat then lofting them up on the plywood. I did this two boats ago and it worked like a charm. Good luck with your project! Scott P.S. I've had better luck with cup brushes over the regular wire wheels on grinders. Every time I've used a regular wire wheel I end up looking like a steel-clad porcupine. I also burned up a Harbor Freight grinder and a Dewalt model using too big of a cup brush. Now I just use small cup brushes on my grinder. [/QUOTE]
