[QUOTE="acolic, post: 419605, member: 12118"] Hi I did a search and didn't find a thread around this topic. If I'm wrong please point me in the right direction. I have to replace both casting decks on my boat. Right now they are made using 3/4" home plywood. They are pretty soggy and soft. My plan was to buy a sheet of 1/4" plywood or hardboard and after removing existing decks use them to create a template. This would allow me to play around with the location for the lids for the under deck lockers. Then using the template I was going to use 3/8" aluminum to create the new decks. I still need to figure out the weight comparison between a sheet of 3/8' aluminum vs. 3/4" marine plywood. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? [/QUOTE]
