[QUOTE="surfman, post: 405385, member: 7404"] You can't make it water tight, no matter how hard you try, you need to make it so that you can rinse it good. I have a 1448 and I added a plywood floor, I did not put any foam under the floor and I don't recommend it for salt water, plus I really don't think it is necessary or helps deaden the sound that much. You need to be able to let the fresh rinse water run under the floor. Be sure to totally seal your wood on all sides, I used epoxy. You may want to strip it out and clean it up using a pressure washer and then some phosphoric acid cleaner, then paint it with a good quality primer and paint. [/QUOTE]
