Man, for the life of me I couldn’t remember what gauge I had a fan shop redo my floors in. I do see you may need to add some supports across your stringers. I had the going across about every 2ft or so then the foam between them that I poured then the floor. Gas tank was in the middle with its own cover. You may check that to see if it’s that thickness you need of it’s not wood.

My stringers going across are every foot. There is no storage or fuel tank in the floors the guy who I bought it from redid the floors about 5 years ago but never carpeted it cared for them...

I have an aluminum floor, if I remove a (screwed in place) access cover I can measure it, I’m pretty sure it is no more than 1/8”, and my stringers or supports are approx 12” on center with closed cell foam filling the cavity’s between them so 1/8” would be more than adequate. I re-drilled and used large head aluminum rivets to put floor back down

Seems similar to my floor in my GLS195. I had a local fab shop redo mine as I took out the two pedestals in the rear of the boat. I didn’t think it was that much for them to fan up for me. But was like 7-8 yrs ago.

1/8” aluminum diamond plate. Looks great and works perfect with this boat. I did one a few years back. I wish I would have taken pictures.
