[QUOTE="richg99, post: 456286, member: 4376"] I feel your pain, but.... They wanted an extra $600.00 to put a floor/deck on my 1652 G3. Not only did I think the money was high, I wanted to run my own wiring under the deck, so I opted to do it myself. I had a thin piece of aluminum deck left over from a prior tinny that I junked. It was short in every direction but covered the bulk of the area. I covered that with two pieces (for flexibility) 1/4 inch (maybe 3/8th...I don't remember now) exterior plywood, and then covered that with Defender Industries Marine vinyl. I'm happy. One thing I did do differently than you was I purposely did not run the decking all of the way to the side panels. I bumped the paneling up against the side supports, but that still left a 5 by 2 inch (est.) opening next to every brace. I stuffed foam down into each crevice to keep things from getting lost forever down there. That still left me a lot of extra storage nooks... which I have utilized. Too each his own. [/QUOTE]
