I was thinking about putting some kind of floor that would allow any kind of moisture or fluids to run right through it into the bilge.<br /><br />Could a person put some kind of steel, aluminum, or hard plastic that has lots of holes in it that would allow this?<br /><br />Something like you would see on a catwalk for example.. <br />The floor in this boat is only about 3ft wide and 6 ft long. I was thinking of running cross braces between the stringers and mount the flooring to that. I wouldn't really even need to glass, but I think I would at least glass the cross pieces (joists)for strength between stringers.<br /><br />Sounds silly, but wouldn't this end any future floor damage? If you made it removable, it would be real easy to replace or clean underneath.<br /><br />And as far as using different metals vs. saltwater, I would certainly powdercoat them first before install.<br />I have access to a powdercoating facility, so the cost there is negligble.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.
