sure you can, but it will take in water eventually.

 

[Nevillizer]

You can, probably shouldn't though.

 

[Cass]

How big is your boat. You want to try to keep weight to a minimum. Speed and safety reasons.

 

[Cass]

14' x 61"

 

[Nevillizer]

If you actually wrapped the ends with fiberglass and not just the resin it might last. I would just use plywood and treat it.

 

[Cass]

thanks guys plywood it is i will just use the 3/4 osb for the decking if thats ok and thank again guys =D> =D> =D>

If you seal it with glass resin it should last you some, but like thers have said OSB is basicly a saw dust version of a sponge. It will soak up water and rot.

NO.

OSB is not intended for that type of use. It's not strong enough even when it hasn't rotted. Don't do it.
