[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 471304, member: 21536"] Hi ya Seed. Congrats on the new boat. One way to do what you want is to screw your ply floor down then put the carpet or vinyl on top. Obviously you would countersink the screws. Another option is to hold the floor panels down with aluminum angle screwed into the bottom of the seat bases. Personally, I wouldn't use option one above because if you ever have to remove the floor panel for whatever reason you will need to tear up the floor cover to access the screws. I would rather cover the panels first then screw them down. The screws will show but if you ever have to pull the floor up for any reason, it will be easier and you won't damage the covering. This approach is pretty standard but it is your call of course. Look forward to hearing more about your project. [/QUOTE]
