[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 93473, member: 437"] You have to think about where those cracks are. They are in the center. That means that your primary bending moment is happening right down the center. Unless you do something to strengthen that area like making stiffer floor ribs, carrying your diagonal side ribs all the way past center or putting the seat back in... it will continue to flex there. If you put a stiff floor in and then fastened that to your ribs from side to side, that should stiffen the bottom considerably also. [/QUOTE]
