[QUOTE="akthor, post: 135863, member: 3017"] So not PT plywood? Can I do good plywood with an epoxy coating? Don't want to fiberglas anything. The current decking is just ply not epoxy on it or fiberglass. Has lasted 20yrs. Perhaps it's marine plywood? I don't seem to have that available locally. I have found many suppliers online for carpeting, any specific recommendations on what to look for? I also want to put a trolling motor on. I can't afford a front mount. Seems to be some good options in my price range for transom mounted ones in 40 or 45 pound thrust. I just want to use it to move us along shore while casting not to actually troll. So for my size boat can I get away with 40lbs thrust or should I go higher? Alsothis may seem like a dumb question but I am assuming when the outboard is running it does not recharge the battery like a car. Right? I need to periodically put the battery on a charger. Right?
