Good afternoon - I'm a newbie who is asking for some seasoned help.
I recently purchased a 2002 MK 5 HD from what I thought was a great craigslist find. However now that I got a quote from zodiac on the floors I'm really questioning my find.
Anyone make floor board and stringers ? Or maybe purchase aftermarket stringers and make the floor.
I build decks for Zodiac SIBs. I have built 2 now for 5.8 meter boats, a MK 5 and a 580 EOD. If your in or close to Southern California and still looking for a deck let me know. $2,000 glassed and ready to go, lighter, stronger and easier to use than the factory deck.I could also make you a blank plywood deck with all the hardware for less.

How do your stringers work?
Also, does it stretch the hull properly upon installation?

I own the Mk 5 mentioned above with custom floor, yes, the floor panels are the correct length to properly stretch the hull between the thrust-board and transom. It's set up with wooden borders that run down the sides and then aluminum stringers hold everything in place, works well
