[QUOTE="Vermonster, post: 302029, member: 7992"] Best advice - get some cardboard and cut out a template (piece some together if you need to.. Then just trace the template shape onto the plywood. I didn't bring mine all the way back to the the 2nd seat which is why support is on the bracket that runs straight across the floor. My boat is the Sportsman model which only has 3 seats total. Yours has 4 and I think is a bit bigger. I riveted everything and it's SOLID! You can pick up rivets and a nice hand rivet tool for $25 at Home Depot. It's easier than it looks. I cut all the angle with a jigsaw (metal blade) until the jigsaw broke (it was a POS) - after that I used the old hacksaw until I replaced the jigsaw. [/QUOTE]
