[QUOTE="joshrbarker, post: 180590, member: 4799"] As long as we're talking floors....anyone ever used fiberglass? I have messed with it in automotive applications and thought it might be a good choice for a permenant floor. I have ribs on the bottom of my jon and thought using some foam or plywood to bring the level up even with the ribs then layering some fiberglass over the whole floor leaving some channels down the sides to direct rain or "swamped" water to the back for draining or bilge pumping. Also I thought some coarse sand mixed in with the last coat of resin would add much needed grip. Or a coat of rubberized undercoating on top. I also thought of sandwiching some fiberglass between two thin plywood boards to make a really strong transom. I've just been tossing ideas around in my head, and I'd like to know if anyone has already discovered if they do or do not work! [/QUOTE]
