I had an idea today guys...
So I built my boat recently with a wooden deck and have recently decided to scrap it. Despite sealing it with 3 or 4 coats, I still will remove it for Duck Season to rebuild it in a manner more conducive for my hunting purposes (rather than Bass fishing). Also, I would be worried in its current state how it would handle with carpet and wood, as I hunt every day almost in rainy and snowy and muddy disgusting conditions.
I have planned to build a nice floor with aluminum, but what about fiberglass? Has anyone thought of making a deck or floor from fiberglass for their aluminum boat? I feel like this would be a great idea as the mould for it would be fairly simple and cheap, and the material would be very thin compared to similar strength wood. Also the weight would be reduced. Then too, if any issues arose, I would be able to cut and patch them. No mold or rot issues ever either. Has anyone done this? I'm seriously thinking about it.
