Just purchased an AlumaCraft MV1448.
Will have three persons on board, My wife, son and myself.
I wanted to install flooring to prevent ankle twisting and stumbling of my handicapped son, more of a mental handicap than a physical issues. He will be sitting on the middle bench seat. Forward of this bench seat is a compound curved issues on the floor, hope you can picture what I am talking about, forward of the bench seat and before the front deck.
What are some ideas I could use to conceal the bottom ribs, I was thinking 1/2 ply mounted directly on the ribs, with screws. Will 1/2" plywood take the twists and bends that are located up in the front of the middle bench seat area?
What about laminating two 1/4" plywood on top of each other, installing one first (easier to twist and bend then gluing then second 1/4" sheet on top of the first. I have ideas on how to remove the first sheet from the ribs after laminating the second sheet on top.
I just need to be able to form the plywood to shape of the ribs.
I don't want to make the floor flat across, want to follow the inside form of the boat hull.
I am already aware of waterproofing the ply and am planning on carpet as well.
