Thanks Barry, but I wasn't clear at all in what I was asking. I guess I assumed everyone could read my mind. :)

What I was thinking about was full length floors on top of or at least flush with the frame tops so you have a flat floor in the boat. The number one complaint is the frame at the cockpit hitting the back of your thigh. Had a lady paddle mine that liked to sit with her legs flat on the floor of her boat so this was really uncomfortable for her. So I am looking at options to install floors.

I currently do something similar to what your doing, but just lash my seat boards in.
