[QUOTE="TDobb, post: 432537, member: 22124"] Johnny, To be completely honest, I did nothing to preserve the plywood. I used ABx Marine Grade plywood for this build. The previous iteration used BCx sheathing and after seven years of use, between 40-70 days a year on the water in all kinds of conditions, the old plywood was like new when I pulled it out. The supports were spaced a lot farther apart in that rendition as well. I store the boat in the garage 100% of the time when it is not being pulled to the lake or in the water. The carpet will wear out before the plywood with the way I use and care for the boat, and rather than strip the carpet I will just spend another 100 bucks on two sheets so I don't have to strip the glue. I've been getting a lot of requests for fishing trips in the little boat for the summer via Facebook. All my friends and family are expecting me to show them some big panfish this summer. I surely hope that I can deliver. I have my first panfish tournament of the year on the 22nd. Fishing big ol Lake Minnetonka for 10 big crappies with my son. The proceeds raised from the tourney will go towards a program to get vets out fishing. Hoping I don't have to go out of town for work so I have time to prefish. [/QUOTE]
