Ok, to start off, this boat really hasnt been used in 16 years with a motor, just paddling around a lake for a couple days on vacation one or two years.
we recently bought a motor for it, and after patching the boat, fixing it all up and taking it out for a little scoot, upon packing it up, i noticed that on the back two floorboards (the ones thats are braced by two metal corner pieces for reinforcement, i assume to take the push of the motor) the edge that fits into this metal part, on both floorboards, is bent at a fairly extreme angle.
are these floorboards safe to use, assuming not, should i buy marine grade plywood and make my own, or is there somewhere i can order them.
thanks
