I am putting the same floor back down. I just used aluminum rivets for now. If I end up pulling the floor again eventually I may use stainless rivets, the rivnuts weren't long enough to grab through the material.
Definitely still remove it. I got over 150 lbs of wet foam out, plus I was able to add drainage under the floor for the water to actually get out. Also by removing nasty rusted rivets it'll stop the corrosion underneath hopefully.
When I did mine I believe I used a 3/16 bit. The holes are right at 1/4 inch. I would definitely add some drain holes to the framing underneath because those side channels don't drain at all. There's some foam under there but the bulk of it is in the back bench and pods plus some under the...
I ground the heads as low as I could after I drilled the middles out and then used a chisel to shear the rest of the head off. Took a lot of leverage and some brute force to pop the floor up finally.
I pried up with my lashing bar for chain lashing so hard that it was lifting the stern of the...
There's a floating floor in the trackers, it's on top of aluminum tubing and it's riveted down. Some of the rivets I ground out were threaded rivnuts from the factory
Gonna try these out, worst case if they don't seem to be the right fit I'll go a diff route but I am planning to do some more work in the near future so if I need to pull the floor back out those make it easier then I can rivet it later.

Ended up ordering some 1/4 inch rivnuts per some recommendation from other tracker owners with the same boat, gonna see how they do once I go to button it back up.if they don't work I'll go the way y'all are saying. She finally came loose last night after 3 evenings of messing around with it...
Pulling the floor for my grizzly to gut the foam out of it. I can't for the life of me find the proper size and material of rivets to put it back together. If anyone could point me in the right direction to find them and where to order them so I can a put this tin can back together properly...
Older tracker grizzly with what I suspect is soaked flotation foam. I'm in the process of pulling up the floor, I want to remove the old foam and put the floor back down. I am having a hell of a time figuring out what size rivets I need, and where to buy them. I am carefully removing the old...
