I picked up a 1436 today and started tearing everything down that needs to be removed. I notice that the floor was not flat. It has an arche in it that goes from side to side. I would say it rises two inches in the middle. Anyone have a way to straighten this out? I am planning on floor decking between back and middle seat and would think i need to start with a pretty flat surface.

Can you post pics?Sounds like it's been left setting on top of something and the bottom has bowed up.
I will post them this evening. Was going to take a few snap shots last night but the storms rolled in before i got outside.
I would assume the same thing about the reason it is bowed up. It is a 3 seater 14'er and it is only bowed behind the first bench all the way to the back. Will post pictures tonight. Thanks

Sounds like somebody used it to stand on or stack something on while it was flipped upside down.
I had a 14' once that I got for free after the original owner stood on it while upside down and buckled the hull enough to split it immediately in front of the transom.

Looks like some kids may have been jumping on it while it was upside down.
