[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 235001, member: 10"] I think plywood flooring is lighter, cheaper and easier to work with. I used plywood for my floors and aluminum for everything below. Sheet aluminum might be slightly lighter per square foot then plywood (depending on thickness of each of course) but, because the aluminum is softer and more flexible you will, by necessity, have to ad additional bracing below - this is where the weight will add up. I did not carpet the aluminum but used an epoxy primer and then no slip paint. Clean and light! [/QUOTE]
