[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 50637, member: 437"] Use several coats of water sealer on or paint some regular plywood with a good latex paint and use screws to reattach. Shoot some silicone caulk into the holes to seal out the water. The reason that wood rots quickly is because of the moisture held in by the carpet. Marine carpet has a rubber backing and won't let the water evaporate out from under it very well. Seal that wood so that you don't have that problem and it should last a very long time. [/QUOTE]
