Any one have any good suggestions on something to cover my floor above each fuel tank? I had to put new tanks in a year ago. Had to cut the floor out. I covered the exposed part under the hatch with some diamond plate, but since eveythings out of the compartment at the moment, I figured I'd look at alternatives.

Cole, the diamond plate is real lightweight aluminum stuff. Not very thick at all or heavy. This pic is right after I pulled the motor last month, hense the mess. There are side panels that come down and hide the 1/3 near the side. The plates cover the horizontal area that's whiter and then runs to the back along the tunnel. Here's a pic of the plate after I pulled it. When I put the new part of the floor back in, the part in the engine compartment is just exposed wood, albeit resin coated. I even covered it with a coat of white gelcoat, but it doesn't match the splatter coat that came with the boat and looks like crap without abything covering it. One day I'd like to reshoot the whole engine compartment, but for now....

Craig, have you seen what Riverliver did with something similar to diamond plate. Here's a link to some pics.
