[QUOTE="Rat, post: 108608, member: 1914"] If you want to level the front sole you can add some support underneath; but if you are just looking to keep it from flexing when you walk on it you can screw it to the ribs underneath. It will have the same shape as the hull bottom (not level), but it will not flex. I would put some 4200 on the ribs and screw it down with stainless screws every 4 inches or so. Using the 4200 will make it semi-permanent, IOW not easily removed, and the screw heads will be on top of the carpet unless you leave enough space to tuck the carper around the edges and then finish it off with some trim or something (since it sounds like you need to cover a gap anyway). I would also put a few screws in the rear sole just to keep it from blowing out while towing. I don't know if it will or not, but I would constantly be worrying about it. :? As far as color, I would go with Burnt Orange and White... :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
