[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 495941, member: 31103"] The decks in my 14' Lund S14 are all "add-ons." I replaced the lower decks between the benches last year with 3/4" ply; it's what I had in the shop when I did it. I'm replacing the front casting deck now; it had 3/4 ply on it, but I'm putting in new 5/8" ply. It's exterior-rated sanded BCX from the big box store. I went with 5/8th because there's sufficient structure underneath, it saves a few pounds over 3/4, and was a few bucks cheaper. I think 1/2" ply would flex too much for my tastes, unless I really beefed up the supporting structures. All of the ply I use on the boat is covered with a coat of fiberglass resin to provide moisture protection. I pay particular attention to the edges of the ply to reduce moisture absorption into the end grain of the ply veneers. [/QUOTE]
