[QUOTE="clc442, post: 516078, member: 32047"] Next up was floation foam and sub-floor. I've was not thrilled with any of the options for this. I had corrosion from pour foam not draining so I didn't go that route. I'm using 1/2" MDO for the sub-floor because the previous floor was 1/2", but I believe the pour foam added rigidity. So I used the Home depot pink foam because it seems stiffer than the pool noodles everyone uses. But I dipped the pink foam in gas so I used the pool noodles in the last 32" of the boat. I've only got a 6 gallon gas tank so gas leak shouldn't go that far up the boat. I went with vinyl from defender and carpet glue. The glue is a nightmare so this stuff better hold up long term. I also used SS staples to hold the vinyl down too. Got the subfloor in and attached it with SS screws and finishing washers. I did use rivets in a couple of spots, but didn't like the look. When I put the casting decks in you shouldn't see any rivets [/QUOTE]
