[QUOTE="cprince, post: 69251, member: 962"] This is the thread I have been looking for. I have been looking at a re-do of a 14foot tinny of mine. My first thought was to go all aluminum. After some research, I have been told a 4x8 sheet of 3?16th aluminum diamond plate is around 80lbs. Is this accurate from all your experience? If it is... I can get 1/2 inch 4x8 ply @ about 50lbs per sheet and at least 1/5th the price. Let me say, I have NEVER held an aluminum sheet in my hands, nor an official weighing of a sheet... so I do not know if these are accurate values to base my decision on. [/QUOTE]
