[QUOTE="Ezekiel2517, post: 405490, member: 18494"] I don't have any pictures of me constructing my rear floor. My only advice here is to buy good carpet, money is tight most of the time and I bought the cheap stuff from Lowes. Spend extra and get carpet that can be folded around corners easily. Mine was stiff and a pain in the ...! I used 3/4 inch for my floor because I thought if I used the extra wood in the front, I wouldn't need support underneath. I put a low floor up front , but it still flexes a little. I'll be fixing that over the next few days. Some 2x2's underneath should solve my flex problems. In the pictures below you will see that I used some exterior foam between the ribs for sound, and a little flotation. And I made my floor in 2 pieces. I'm alone and it was easier to construct everything in smaller pieces than manhandle larger a heavier piece. I have ordered some Aluminum angle from online metals that I will use to keep the floor in the boat. I'll post those pictures next week. Another reason to use smaller pieces is the easy disassembly of the build. during storage and long periods of non use I can move my wood, batteries, and coolers indoors. Now that I purchsed a fitted cover that might not be needed anymore, but who knows. [/QUOTE]
