[QUOTE="Sullemander, post: 414413, member: 21201"] Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the exact type of sheet metal that is good for flooring and decking in a Jon boat. I'm currently working on redoing a 1987 Monark 15 ft boat and after countless searches, I can't find any specifics in regards to thickness or type of sheet metal. I went to a local sheet metal shop today and they told me that I would need at least 1/8 thick metal for me to be able to step on it and it not bend. Also that they would have to order T6061 aluminum due to the fact that regular sheet metal will degrade in saltwater. The fact they must special order this puts the price at about $400 for a 5x10 sheet. Is this a fair price? Thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
