[QUOTE="Leelatt, post: 258690, member: 7127"] Thanks for the input guys, I'm gonna go with 0.1 for the decking and then 0.063 or 0.083 for the flooring as I figure the foam I have is very dense and does not compress that easily, it's also 1/8 of an inch higher then the ribs, so I'm thinking if I lay the sheet over it and rivet it down then the foam will push up on it enough to stop it from bending under my weight or a friends weight. I'm just tired of tripping over the ribs when walking around on the boat plus since I want to put in a fore and aft deck this gives me some more foam storage to hopefully help keep it floating if I ever take on way too much water. probably a long shot but does anyone know of any aluminum supply places in NJ? I'd prefer to drive and pick it up myself/dig through scrap/unwanted/discounted pieces if they have them. [/QUOTE]
