[QUOTE="dixie_boysles, post: 129339, member: 2609"] UPDATE: Me and my buddy got the support system for the metal floor im putting in. The boat ribs are not flat which poses problems when putting a flat floor in...lol. So I bought some 1x1 aluminum angle and ran it side to side capped on the ribs. It was still giving in the middle some (more than I liked) so i also put som vertical angle in to support the middle . The flooring system is very stout now! I am using a 3/16"-1/4" thick roadsing i bought at the local salvage yard for my floor. It is being covered in gray marine carpet i bought at Lowes. My friend there got me a deal on a remnant he had that was 8'-9 3/4" x 6' for $20!!! that is enought to do my middle floor, and back bench! I still need to buy about 10 more feet I think. on to the pics: [img]https://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/dixie_boysles/SU1HMDAwMDcuanBn.jpg[/img] [img]https://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv308/dixie_boysles/SU1HMDAwMDguanBn.jpg[/img] here you can see the vertical support in the floor, this made it VERY stout.
