He didn't want to do it because of labor fitting them in the 1648 jet.So used marine plywood and old-timers finish as primer, cut forms with cardboard to fit, and built in two pieces that will be able to lift out and clean, so forth.Should be ready when the fly-fishing hull comes home in a week or two from the fabricator who is installing a knee brace in front deck. By the finish of the floor, I'll have as much in the job as aluminum decking. Live and learn.Will get a double coat of battleship gray Rust-Oleum oil on top of the three coats of old-timers.  Using one sheet plywood, had to close a two inch gap in the front section on each side.  Will paint and shoot ss brads with Tightbond 3 glue.Learned the jig saw should have been adjusted 30 degrees top to bottom to compensate the hull/rib angle. Glad I have a bunch of finish sanders. Used Probond filler where wood was split on edges, good product.</blockquote>
