    Got the paper work back from VDGIF today. That cooler has been converted into a live well. I still have a few things to do to it. I'm trying to come up with a way to put a removeable floor in it without spending another million. I hate walking on those ridges. Also I have the parts coming to convert the motor to electric start. That trolling motor will be for sale cheap if Minnkota ever ships the 45" Terrovas.

    Bill on a boat I did @ the same mods to-- ( know it sounds to light but it worked well - I was only 160# at the time)-- In the middle section- I used 1/4 plywood with grass carpet, it worked fine. But the ribs @12"-14" apart (polarcraft?) I didn't even screw it down --coolers and gear held it fine while trailering on highways

    Bill, I have a small 14 ft boat that I did like Charlie said except I use 1-2 inch and on both ends had to put 2 by 4 nail under it because no rails where the ends of plywood need to meet on rail

    I also Have a floating floor in my MV1448 Alumacraft, I used black indoor/outdoor, and treated 1/2" I cut 2x4s to fit between the ribs and screwed them to the floor, fits snug, no vibration. Will curl alittle if hot and humid, If I had it to do again It would had been marine grade....It is nice to pull the floors out for cleaning (stiff bristled brush) , especially after camping trips to buggs lol dang sand and orange clay....

    That's some good ideas about the floor.
