[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 140701, member: 1417"] After everything was cut, I power washed boat. I started the rear floor. I filled the ribs with foam and made a template to notch the deck to the ribs. [img]https://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss360/ladyflyfisher/reartemplate.jpg[/img] Can you tell me how much the foam was above the ribs? I didn't think of doing it that way. My ribs were 1-1/2" deep so that's the thickness of the foam I put in. I just assumed the foam needed to be flush with the top of the ribs. I guess though if you're careful not to drive the screws through the flooring you could use thicker foam. The foam shouldn't compress under the weight of the floor and people on it and should make a good sound platform to lay the floor on. I would still be a little worried about pulling the screws through the floor. Did you have any problems with that? [/QUOTE]
