[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 412726, member: 20605"] I would probably rethink your floor framing. You don't really need 2x4's. You could use 2x2's And I would run them the other way and go under the middle bench then tie them together with shorter lengths, kind of like a ladder. This would save you on weight, and also make the floor lower in the boat. I would remove the middle bench and make the floor in one big piece, lay it in there then put the bench back if you want to keep it as far as flotation, my approach was to replace what I took out, and add a little more. The wood I added will float on its own so I figured that was a wash. I may be wrong but that's what I did that's my suggestion anyway Take a look at previous builds. [/QUOTE]
