What's the best plywood for the floor of a boat and why? I know what I think i'm going to use.
-
Yes I'm curious too..
-
my personal opinion is to just use a regular 1/2 or 5/8" plywood. the floor is kind of a "consumable" part that unfortunately gets damaged with use and wear and tear. water WILL find its way in from bolt holes, etc and eventually will need to be replaced again. a $100 sheet of thick marine ply isnt gonna make it any better...

ive done mine with ply wood twice now once when i first bought the boat and now im doin it again but its my fault this time i left the bow too low and left it uncovered in rain :banghead: got careless now paying for it
-
I did my floor with regular ply and coat both sides with resin and any screw I put in I put silicone

I was told that doing this is a waist of time.I thought it was the way to go.but I was going to use a chop gun.
