Floor replacement question??

[phatdaddy]

I had to replace from gunnell to gunnell under both seats and half way to to the splash well on the port side. The lip i installed in the opening was about 3 " deep, this gave enough support so that the new deck would not fall through or sag where the two pieces of deck met. I ran a string from side to side an had to build up my stringers a little to get a good fit.
