[QUOTE="The Doc, post: 234366, member: 5463"] I'm going to be working on my tin when I get back from deployment. Basically I just want to build a budget friendly pond hopper to take my son (4 years old) out to the local small lakes/ponds. It's a 14' Monarch (I think it's a 1464 but I cant' remember right this second) I was thinking about building a casting deck out of plywood, sealed with fiberglass resin. Would it be better to use one solid sheet of 3/4" plywood, or would it be better to use 3 sheets of 1/4" plywood, laid out so the "grain" was going vertical on the top layer, then the middle layer going horizontal, then the bottom layer vertical again, sealing each layer with the resin. I don't really want to sink a ton of money into it, I just want it to be stable enough to hold me (I'm only 180 lbs...) I got a ton of ideas for the decking on this site, so I feel pretty confident in the build, but I didn't know if anyone had used 3 layers of 1/4" versus one layer of 3/4" Thanks [/QUOTE]
