Floor Strength

I am new to this forum, I just purchased boat #203. It is in amazing condition and I intend to keep it that way. I damaged my previous dinghy by standing in the boat while it was on the trailer. Raising the mast. That boat has a flat floor and used the seat fronts to brace the floor. Standing in the boat when it was not supported by the water tore the floor away from the seat fronts. I am seeking some assurances that the 14.2 is stronger.
Thanks
 
I have not had any problems with the floor strength with my 14.2. It is hull 108. I have stood on it numerous times when not on the water.

I'm pretty sure you will be ok. The owners manual even states...make sure the trailer is still hitched to the vehicle when you get in the boat to step the mast, as weight in the stern may cause the trailer to lift.
