[QUOTE="water bouy, post: 421276, member: 21344"] Thanks very much. After a lot of indecision I picked up a stack of aluminum planks off craigslist this morning for very little. I was reluctant to drive 50 miles but when I saw em I knew it was worth it. Apparently they're for picnic tables and such but these are 15ft long by 9" wide x 1 1/2" deep. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vmTVWfhl.jpg[/img] I believe they're called 'extruded' which must refer to the design. It's lighter than plywood and they have grooves for traction. When I got back I cut a few pieces to see how it's going to look. Probably make them sit a little lower than they are now. He threw in four "extras" which will be enough to do the whole job. Just need to decide how to secure them.

Also thinking about opening the top of the middle bench for storage or a livewell and putting swim noodles under the floor. [/QUOTE]
