[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 384837, member: 18154"] I want to put a floor in two compartments of my 13 foot v hull. Im thinking about just using some birch or oak 1/2 inch plywood from the depot. Because of the shape of the bottom I only need about 16 inches wide by about 42 inches long in each compartment. I won't be leaving them in because I use the boat in brackish water. They are just going to lay in there and be removed to hose off and and to dry out. I can probably use 18 inch wide bunk carpet on them because I can get that locally from the marine store cheap. Question is, since I am not leving it in all the time, do I need to epoxy coat the ply? Can I just paint it a few coats with latex or poly? Would bed liner waterproof this enough? Like I said, I plan to remove them when I cover at the end of the day. Here is a link to some pics of the boat and I would appreciate any thoughts or direction. There are pics of the floor area in question near the bottom. https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=37700 Sonny [/QUOTE]
