[QUOTE="Frankenfish, post: 480513, member: 25701"] Flooring framing is and finished except near the front - still not sure what I'll do for a storage solution yet. it's not pretty, but it's pretty sturdy. [b][i]"Silicon and paint makes me the the shipwright I ain't"[/i][/b] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210124_152224.jpg"]108370._xfImport[/ATTACH] The next step was tense - would the plywood nicely slot into the gap between bench seat and frame? Took some fiddling and shaving, but it fits! Should have an 1/8" gap to allow for the vinyl flooring.

The added bonus is that my edges and tolerances between the two pieces doesn't have to be too exact. Anybody have an opinion on drains? I have some tiny stainless drains, but I suspect my inexact cutting will allow enough gaps for water to flow out? I have the drain, but don't want to overengineer when it's not necessary. Also getting the drain to sit below plywood level isn't something I'm excited to tackle. [/QUOTE]
