Back from the dead...LOL. I just realized that it had been a year since I rebuilt my floors. On June 1 2010 I placed a small square (2"x2) of the Advantech in a jar and filled it with water. After over a year being submerged it is still very solid and is not de-laminating. You can see from...

I have a 1981 Johnson 50 HP outboard that I just drop the lower on to change the seals. Where is the best place online to order these parts?

Once you saw the stuff and cut it, you would realize that sealing would be a waste of time, rain will not penetrate this stuff. Shoot, I'm starting to sound like an Advantech sales rep. :lol:

Physically it is nothing like OSB. It is completely impregnated with epoxy. There are no voids in the interior of the material, that is why it is heavy. I researched this and other product for extensively before going with this. People have left pieces of this stuff, UNSEALED, floating in...

Dave, Check out this link to specs on Advantech. https://huberwood.com/main.aspx?pagename=advanTechFloorSpec It is actually made there in Commerce, GA. I bet the mill has a outlet for selling it direct.

Dave, All the Home Depot's carry it. It is in stock at the Commerce, GA Home Depot near you. Go to the store and take the following info with you: Home Advantage 23/32 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. Enhanced OSB Sub-floor Board Model # 678661 Store SKU # 486701 This stuff looks like regular...

I have 2 sheets in my boat and it goes as fast as I want it to go. To me, knowing the floor is going to hold up in a rough environment is worth a little extra weight. It all depends on your needs. I don't think it weighs much more than regular plywood. From Bob Vila.com: "An easy way to...

It is 3/4 inch from the store. I did not measure the piece that was submerged but the swelling does not look significant even after 4 months under water. I say it swelled because the edges seem to be a raised a little.

Guys, I thought I would update you all on the Advantech (or Home Advantage if you buy it at Home Depot) I used in my boat. This is the piece of scrap I have had submerged in water since June 1, 2010. I inspected it today. There is a little swelling, very little, and it no longer floats but...

Mike- I grew up on the Cumberland in Kentucky...Burkesville to be exact. Home Advantage is made by Advantech for Home Depot. Rapainted the engine cover and added new decals from Ebay. After that I hit it with a couple of coats of clear. Set the two rear seats up to swivel so we could fish...

I just rebuilt by 16 ft Fisher Marine and this site was a tremendous resource. Considering all the help I got here from reading and asking a few questions, I felt like I should give something back. That being said, I don't think there is much information about Advantech or Home Depot's version...

Post up some pics of yours if you dont mind I will as soon as I can get some.

Your boat looks great. It is in better shape than mine. Mine is badly stained around the water line and a little beat up. They are the same boats though. Nice job on yours!

That was quick! Thanks for the help!

It has a wheel.
