[QUOTE="richg99, post: 445171, member: 4376"] When I added a deck onto my 1656 G3, I used loose blue foam "boards". I wanted them to have some slight movement so that water could find its way back to the stern. Support for the deck was supplied by aluminum "beams". In your case, ...after you provided some sort of channels for water to flow through....you could add a modest amount of pourable foam in the lowest portion of the hull. Then, immediately add enough loose boards to raise the foam high enough to provide the support that you need. You'd have to load in an extra board or two, and then maybe shave some off to match and support the top deck. Just musing over your issue. Rich [/QUOTE]
