That will give you the safety of the foam, storage,  some good even fishing areas,  and still have some original looks.  Plus it'll still be good for just cruising with the wife. And if you decide to go full Tiny Boat,  you've got the subfloor done. I'm kind of in the same boat.  I found Tiny Boat Nation and decided to get a tin boat. My boat is a 1960 Arkansas Traveler. And after having her for a could months,  I'm wanting to keep her as original as possible but still turn her into a fishing machine.  I fish a lot though.</blockquote>
