Stern floor supports

[Flipflop]

I’ve not taken any wood out but I’m going to put protected wood in the middle of the bays for floor support

Cheers. Presumably they never thought it required.

Just worried about the flooring bowing in the middle of bays as there quite big

Are there any dranage holes at the lowest point to let any water run to the stern in those cross members

If you put timber longitudinal supports, along the length of the cabin, across the transverse framing, not only will it support the floor, but also allow ventilation from front to back, through the gaps between the timbers. With a ply floor, you will need to think about access to any shower drain pump and a trap at the back to inspect the baseplate for water ingress.

Sorry, I know it doesn't help with the rear deck, which must be made to drain overboard.

Yer there are gaps all the way down the centre to let water run through I’ve cleaned all those out 

Good thoughts about long way timber water would have passage way aswell I’ve needed

Was punctuation optional too?  Write intelligent posts and you will get intelligen answers.

Yep. That would be my concern. 18mm ply is pretty rigid but on yours (and I think mine), it’s only supported on three sides so it’ll definitely sag without some extra support.
