[QUOTE="jb93, post: 300815, member: 10840"] I want to put in a false floor. With the v-hull the angles for supporting get a little complex. Based on BillHowardOutdoors Starcraft project, I am thinking of doing the following. Rivet 1 inch square aluminum tubing to the ribs towards the outside of the floor and then cut a 2x6 that follows the needed slope to create a middle support. The 2x6 would be epoxy sealed and then use l-brackets to rivet to the ribs and screw into the side of the 2x6 at each rib. Is this the easiest solution? I glued up 2 layes of 3/4 Arauco ACX plywood from Home Depot for my transom. Some very nice looking plywood. Only saw one small void in the cut pieces. I plan to use polyester resin and wrap it in a layer of fiberglass to waterproof. I am going to use the rest of the sheet to make bench seats out of also coating in one layer of fiberglass. Will probably paint or gelcoat them to give finished look. Will post finished photos when done.
