[QUOTE="thill, post: 523214, member: 4972"] I'm with Airshot on this one. In general, a 10x10 piece will hold the bases down firmly, but you really want a piece that is big enough to span from structure to structure, to significantly strengthen the floor in that area for long-term use without issue. That being said, it depends on how close the understructure is and what grade of aluminum the decking is made of. If the stringers are close together and the aluminum is a strong, rigid alloy, perhaps 10x10 could work great, especially if at least some of the fasteners can connect directly to a support. Hard to really say without knowing the exact structure of that boat. The OP has not replied to this post after the initial statement, so we will never know enough unless he replies. [/QUOTE]
