[QUOTE="Tgc1021, post: 517677, member: 31197"] Was given a 1979 StarCraft 16’ aluminum v bottom fishing boat by family member. After tearing out the floor the flotation under was styrofoam which was completely waterlogged so I ripped it out and just pitched it. Now that I have my floor rebuilt I’m having some issues finding a replacement for the flotation. I have some pink board and pool noodles left over from a previous project but is turning into a headache. This boat have one aluminum stringer down the middle and one on each side. They are about 24 inches apart and even with the foam built up underneath the brand new floor is sagging in some spots. I really wanted to avoid 2 part closed cell foam but don’t know if I have a choice. Maybe add extra stingers in between. Idk it’s my first v bottom and they’re a pain compared to the Jon boats I’ve previously done. Any ideas or advice? Thanks [/QUOTE]
