Measure and document your stringers befpre you cut.Cut them out and hope you have enough left for a pattern.Cut new glass down in floor.Covered in a lot of places.We do like pics of projects though.

Im trying to build the floor on top of where it sinks in on both sides but do not want to strain the hull in one area evenly distributed how far apart on the stringers? And do I run one long ways and the rest sideways?

There aren't any stringers on that boat. The floor is designed to flex, I believe it is just glass, no wood. Why do you want to replace the floor? That boat is quite a bit different than a regular runabout, because of the twin hull design. We replace floors because they are soft, those floors are not soft, but they do flex.

I have the exact same boat, but mine is a 1994.

Have a great day,

Rob.

I would like to place a floor where the twin hulls converge at(that heighth) where the seats are now is where I would like the floor is this a bad idea rob? I just wanted to throw bass chairs on a solid floor with casting deck on bow I would put the stringers in between the twin hulls.....
