[QUOTE="murphy67, post: 454356, member: 21244"] follwm, Sorry for the delay, its been a bit since I have been on here... As for around the livewell, I used a multi-tool and flush cut the floor to go around the livewell. I then put some new wood under the livewell for support and once i put the new flooring down, you cant tell that the floor doesnt go all the way underneath. The biggest problem I had with doing my flooring in the back area was the the boards were not in good shape and one piece was worthless for a template so i had to make my own template out of paper (or cardboard would work too) then I laid that on my wood an cut the floor piece and kept putting it in the boat, and seeing what needed to be trimmed where, etc...and finally everything fit nice and snug. I also just used some 1 3/4 or 2 in self tapping hex screws to go right through the carpet and floor and into the aluminum ribs in 1 go...worked well. What kind of boat are you working on? I finally just got my boat running for the 1st time this season, and hope to get it on the water in the next few weeks, but nice that it started up on the first crank after sitting since last Sept in my garage. :) [/QUOTE]
