[QUOTE="Rat, post: 108690, member: 1914"] I know a guy in Port A who built a plywood on frame boat and he did his floors this way. His ran crossways (perpendicular to the LOA) to the boat though. He built in several small lift out hatches for retrieving small gear that falls between the slats and the whole floor comes out in a couple of big sections for power washing the hull on the inside. His has a glass/paint finish not spar, but the structure is the same as what you are talking about. It looks good and is very functional, kinda nostalgic, lighter than a full sole and you NEVER stand in water; that was his main reason for doing it. 3/4" pine for the slats and some 2x2 for framing will proly work out great for that floor. If you use 1 x 2 and 2 x2 it will look the same when viewed from above while you are standing on it. Using wider slats will cause the framing to look smaller; I know, it's just aesthetics but it's something to consider. [/QUOTE]
