[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 246195, member: 3438"] Thx, I should have mentioned that the very last section, last cross rib to stearn, will not have the flooring, foam or aluminum. So the bilge wil be exposed. This is for access to bilge pump, but also to minimize issues with any small fuel slosh or leak. Foam does not like gasoline! Also, don't plan to put any between the step deck and first rib. Mainly because matching the bend of the boat would be a challenge, there. I do plan for removable fasteners for sides and floor, but easy replacement, will esentially get elliminated when the deck and supports get placed on top of it. :( I am interested in how thin of aluminum people have gotton away with, with this type of install. The foam makes a strong base, and looking to go 0.060" or maybe 0.040". [/QUOTE]
