[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 432420, member: 13599"] hmmmmmmm - - - as I say many times: his boat = his call. would I do it ? no way. (in its present state). BUT - that boat is only ten feet long - so I doubt very seriously he is going to have any issues. (other than falling out of his boat). in a larger boat, say 16ft, you would need to put a lot more time and thought into connecting all the foam joints together with some expanding foam-in-a-can to lock it all together as one solid piece. not to fill all the cavaties - just along the mating surfaces to lock it all together. second factor would be the weight of the people walking and dancing on that part of the deck - as well as the types of water the boat runs in. I have seen waterbed frames made out of flimsy interlocking plywood panels that when done correctly, will support thousands of pounds. It is all in the engineering. [/QUOTE]
