[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 93567, member: 437"] Were the ribs broken before you put the first interior in the boat or did that happen afterwards? Is the console in the original location or has it been moved? Where were the original seats? Your proposed "seats" will stiffen it up some but it is still going to be weak in the center where the cracks are if you go with your sketch. A stiff floor around the console that is tied into the side bracing and bottom ribs will stiffen that area in the hull. It has to be tied together, though. It can't just be cut to fit and held in place by a minimal number of fasteners in the corners. [/QUOTE]
