[QUOTE="hotshotinn, post: 234734, member: 5440"] I looked over a friend boat today and he has plywwod covered in carpet on the floor.I was planning on putting down aluminum flooring but now am thinking about plywood.I put down foam between the support ribs then use 1/2 inch ply or maybee evin 3/8 inch aslong as the support foam is there, covered with carpet then hook it to the ribs with self tappers.Will be cheaper and I will not has to worry about aluminum gettein slippery when fishing out in the cold river in November and december from ice.Should be lighter to I think?Anyone think 1/2 plywood is lighter than aluminum sheet?I allready no 3/8 inch would be and i would only need one 4x8 sheet fo a one piece coverage onmy 1648,Allso wood being more easy to work with over aluminum and carpet covers mistakes :mrgreen: the best part is the cheaper for me =D> I had aline on some scrap aluminum sheets for free but they now has disappered,they said someone stold them and now I am without :x [/QUOTE]
