[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 434270, member: 15266"] Man, where are you getting your aluminum from?? I have gotten quotes in 3 places here in VA, and I paid $96 a sheet for .063 4x8. A sheet of .125 here is almost $200!! That being said, 1/8" (.125) thick aluminum sheet is entirely overkill IMO, especially for a boat this small, where weight is crucial(at least for the floors). Although, it would be perfect for the bracing. I just laid my floors in .063 and it is a perfect balance between weight and strength, just need to put foam under it to support it. [/QUOTE]
