This is a great site!
My humble vessel is a 14 foot semi-v Duracraft. 1962 I believe. I'll try to get some pix when it isn't dark out. This site has inspired me to spend some hard earned money on this boat.
I'm decking the front. I've framed it so that the deck is not attached to the boat and can be removed easily. However, reality is that this thing is going to sit outside most of the time. I intend to cover it with a tarp but.... like I said.. It's a humble vessel and after a long day out fishing it just might get left outside un-covered.
My question relates to the plywood vs. weather. Will a good exterior paint suffice to seal the plywood before the carpet is applied or is fiberglass resin an absolute must have? Has anyone just primed and painted the plywood before applying carpet? If so, how long did it last?
Thanks in advance!!
