Hey everyone, first off I hope everyone has a merry Christmas.
Now here is what I've got going on.
I have an achillies 16' with a five piece wooden floor. I am getting a lot of flex on the back two pieces. There have been a few instances that they have come apart while in 2-3' seas. I need to replace pretty much the whole floor, it is getting pretty old and could use replacing anyways. Not doing it because of the flexing issue. What I was thinking of doing is as follows,
When I replace the floor I was thinking about making the back two maybe three pieces out of one piece of plywood instead of individual ones. The boat never gets broken down for storage. I keep it inflated all the time (I do take some air out during the times I am not using it). It has a 40HP merc on it so breaking it down is a real P.I.A. What is the general consensus of doing this? Am I asking for trouble or will it be ok?
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Dan
