[QUOTE="fly flinger, post: 199883, member: 5812"] I did a quick search for "cedar decking" and found nothing, but I am wondering about decking my jon boat with cedar planking, the same stuff that is used for traditional decking. I was thinking that I would build up the frame similar to what everyone else is doing in using plywood. But then running the cedar lengthwise, with 1/8" gaps (for expansion). Has anyone else done this? Or is there a reason I'm not thinking of? Weight would be a concern, but I don't think it would weigh more than ply/carpet. I also think it would look nice and relatively unique. Obviously water would run right thru it, which would be nice for cleaning reasons, but any storage underneath would have to be drybag or sealed containers. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
