A abovetheclouds Feeder Fish MFK Member Mar 14, 2007 9 0 0 50 Arrowbear Lake Mar 27, 2008 #1 Anyone have any advice on how to reinforce the floor under my 180G. I have a considerable crawl space under the floor, and I was thinking I could just anchor some extra 4x4 supports and be good......... Any opinions would be appreciated
