[QUOTE="mirrocraft16, post: 511406, member: 34654"] A number of years ago I had considered using 3/4" sheets of the stuff for flooring in an 18ft Starcraft. My thought was that it won't rot, its naturally buoyant, and it could be had with a texture or grain on it. I went so far as to contact the company and I was told absolutely not, that it would not support weight. However, 4 years later they came out with PVC decking that was basically the same stuff in 5/4x6 planks. My guess is that so long as its got enough supports, and is supported on the edges well, and you use some type of UV protection, even carpet, its likely just fine. Its not like your going to sink if it fails somehow. After using some scrap pieces for various other projects, even a set of rod holders, I'd even consider going with a thinner sheet of the stuff, just so the undersupports are close enough together.
