[QUOTE="spotco2, post: 280926, member: 6117"] Personally I'm a big fan of flooring, but not in those boats because there are no voids under the ribs for water to run towards the back of the boat. You could always build it up flat using spacers with gaps so that water could get past them, but you would still have the possibility of moisture being trapped under the floor creating mold, mildew or even rot if you used wood. We had an old Monarch (same hull design) that had carpet strips glued to the floor in between the ribs. It made the floor cool and quiet but kept any moisture from being trapped. [/QUOTE]
