Hurricane 440 floor

[Cantwell]

Hello, I just pick up a hurricane 440. It is very bear bones. Just a bench control panel.
I would like to dress it up. I would like to put a floor in. What is the best way to do it?
Sorry I will post a photo tomorrow
Thank you

what does "put a floor in it" mean? Should already have a self draining deck (floor) and sump pump well near the transom.

good thread on 440:

I was looking to put in a wood floor. Do you think that is necessary?
Do you see any other work that should or could be done?
This is my first Rib boat. I had a zodiac cadet. This is to put the family in.

Should be fine as it is.

Are you worried about it being slippery? You could put down some rubber non skid mat/tiles or paint it with non skid gel coat. You can also get custom cut simulated teak stick-down flooring, pricey though I think.

have a poke around in the engine mounting bolt holes to make sure the plywood core is not rotten.

other then that have fun!
