[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 208300, member: 1523"] Depends on how long you plan on keeping the boat. A 1436 is too darned small for most folks, figure it's a good starter boat with a 2yr lifespan before you outgrow it if you are using it regularly. Maybe some 3/8" plywood with some cheap carpet and lots of 2x2 stringers. 3/4" is way overkill for the size of the hull, way too heavy per square foot too. Use contruction adhesive and coated deck screws. Note, coated screws will self tap into the stringers. Expect the wood to last 2-3 years, 4-5 in a covered enviroment. Jamie [/QUOTE]
