[QUOTE="farmer4life, post: 504074, member: 34062"] The floor is in! Here’s the installed frame with all the foam (in several layers). I fit close to 9 cubic feet which gives me close to 540 lbs flotation. Following the [URL='https://safeafloat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/F-_-G-_-H-Flotation-Final-4-14.pdf']US Coast Guard Boat Builders Handbook[/URL] I calculate somewhere around 500 lbs needed, and their calculation assumes worst case. So I’m feeling pretty comfortable. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9787.jpeg"]116706[/ATTACH] Then it was a simple matter of dropping in the floor and screwing it down! 4200 used on all screw holes to provide a seal. I will touch up paint over top so they aren’t as visible. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9854.jpeg"]116707[/ATTACH] I also got the new transom installed! All bolts here sealed with 5200, and so is the transom itself against the aluminum. I pity the fool who needs to remove this in the future… (hopefully that isn’t me) [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9856.jpeg"]116708[/ATTACH] Shiny! Now it’s on to seats and other miscellany, as well as electrical. [/QUOTE]
