[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 490717, member: 15636"] Paid $90 a panel, pre-inflation, for 0.085" or so 4x8 sheets of 5052 alloy, that most hulls are made from. Now I hear from the industry that tin prices are through the roof! You don't need diamond plate 1/8" thick IMHO ... In fact, I'd go as far to say that you don't need a tin floor either for that matter ... just get good 9/16" exterior plywood and coat/seal with Raka epoxy, www.raka.com, especially the edge grain, and cover it with Nautolex marine vinyl from Defender Mrine, CT. It ... will ... out ... live ... YOU! [/QUOTE]
