Subject: RE: Question for small boat owners

Don;
I used sheet stainless made up to fit the bottom ribs of the boat that run cross way to the keel. Don't know if your boat has them or not. If I had to do it today I'd use aluminum angle for cross pieces or stiffeners and the same from the stiffener to the ribs. Lighter and cheaper. When I did the floor I measured down from the gunnel to get the floor placement and made cardboard templates to cut the stainless to. It was nice to work at a place where you could come in on Sat and do all the cutting and bending that was required. Like I said if I had to do it today I'd use aluminum angle. I got most of the floor and deck measurements from a 81 crestliner 14' and changed as needed to fit the mirrocraft, almost the same hull. I put in two pedistal seats and where they go you should add a piece of 2x4 for added support. My peds only have 4 screws thru the floor so 2 support pieces were added. Good cabin fever project.
