[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 217958, member: 6657"] If you're going on the cheap, use the exterior grade plywood (not that chip board crap). Seal the top side and edges only (you want the bottom side to be able to breathe). You'll save a considerable amount of weight (important with small boats) if you'll do your framing with aluminum angle instead of 2x4s. You can buy the angle cheap at scrap yards and recycling centers. Use pop rivets to put your framing together with. Installing vinyl instead of carpet will be more water repellent than carpet and will make your decking last longer. Fastening your decking down through your vinyl or carpet will come in handy if you ever need to take your decking off to work on your boat. Installing floatation foam under your decking is a good idea for safety purposes, you can use the pink or blue polystyrene sheets they sell at home depot. [/QUOTE]
