I had this boat for four years. Pulled up the floor to run a new steering cable on the first year. I tried looking through my pictures but I couldn't find one that showed a good shot of that aluminum bar that sits above the fuel tank. I never remember thinking there was flex or give in the floor. We rode with a lot of extra bags on the seats and moving those from port to starboard or back took at least two full grown adults standing between the bar and the transom cover...plus the weight of the bag. Never had issues.
