[QUOTE="Crazyboat, post: 486283, member: 21552"] Taking the dog for a walk this AM when I come across a guy backing in a "barn find" jon boat into his driveway. The hull although dirty was in pretty good shape, a bunch of leaves and some branches too, a rotted out seat and a dry rot wheel at the helm. No engine on her and the carpet foredeck was tattered. In our brief talk he said he intended to redo the entire boat stem to stern, seems like a nice winter project, my question, why do people put plywood as a flooring and decking material instead of a sheet of Aluminum and diamond plate? Wood is heavier, gets wet and saturated, coating with carpet makes it hold water and stains/smells. So what's the reasons? Thanks [/QUOTE]
