[QUOTE="xbacksideslider, post: 275794, member: 8051"] For decking, out of concern for weight and because I didn't want the weight of carpet and I wanted a veneer to stain, I decided on 1/2" solid core interior grade. It gets wet occasionally, so what? It dries, isn't sitting in a bilge . . . Underneath the decking, contact cement out of a spray can sticks sheets of white encapsulated construction foam to sheets of the same stuff, and then to the bottom of the veneer. For flooring, I used 1/8" veneer underlayment, backed up by that same white plastic film encapsulated construction foam. Built up slices of sheets of foam under the floor veneer to change the V floor to a flat floor and to support that 1/8" veneer, for a flat light floatation floor. [/QUOTE]
