[QUOTE="sftull, post: 220958, member: 6146"] The .040 is pretty flimsy by itself but once the foam was between the ribs, it becomes very solid. I was actually surprised how solid it was once it was all riveted down. I went with .040 for a couple of reasons. First, it was free...my family is in the construction business and do alot of sheet metal work. Second, our 12' metal break wouldn't break .125 very well. I had originally thought about that. When I pulled the original floor and sides out of the boat, which were covered with carpet, they weren't much thicker than a few sheets of aluminum foil. [/QUOTE]
