    Aluminum Starcraft , new wood floor, glass in or not?

    I have seen several aluminum rebuilds and have learned alot about putting in the decks. Sealing them and such. I have also thought about glassing in the floor. Is that a viable option? How do you make the transfer from wood/glass to aluminum? Thanks
