[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 487286, member: 15636"] FWIW I use exterior grade plywood in all my boats - same glue as'marine' ply - and fill any voids with a thickened epoxy mix from the $20 sample kit from Raka epoxy, [color=#0000FF]www.raka.com.[/color] Cover it with marine vinyl flooring from Defender Marine (CT) and you'll have a good gripping surface to step on that's easy to clean! My last tin rig with viny flooring was 24-years old when sold and the vinyl floor still looked great! Power washing is your friend there ... [b]Tips [/b]- I'd seal at least the edges of the plywood and if you wrap the vinyl down around the edges so no water gets to the wood ... I'd doubt you'd ever replace it with tin. A wood floor would also be quieter, have less shock/bounce/vibration and would be warmer! [/QUOTE]
