[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 336484, member: 6694"] I definitely enjoy the floor I put in my boat. It is much easier to move around in, easier to have your tackle box open, and easier to position gear around the boat and move it to wherever you want it, not to just where it will fit between the ribs. My floor added about 75 pounds to my 16 footer, using cypress 1"x 6"x 3/4" boards (see my modification in my signature below). I didn't see any speed loss with my 15 hp (using GPS on the cell phone, Ulysee speedometer application). On a flat bottom, using the ribs as support, you could use 1/2" plywood without issue, and maybe as thin as 1/4" if you use the foam sheets under it between the ribs. I used aluminum angle pop-riveted to the seat benches to support the ends of the floor pieces. [/QUOTE]
