Here is some floor info from a year or so ago, may help. The paint Steve, Capesams, suggested is holding up great. I added a little sand type stuff in it for traction.

Floor is a must. Also remove as many seats as possible to open it up for casting and just to be able to move about.PIA stepping over the seats all the time, especially if you have an Albie on

, but you also have to make sure you don't weaken the integrity of the boat as the seats add strength to the sides so will have to experiment. I have one in the back and one in the front. Have fun and let us see it when you are done. Here is another post about how fun tins are. Paul
