Replacing rotten floor on aluminum boat having just finished rebuilding my lund this is what i did after months of research.
Replacing plywood floor in aluminum boat.
Marine plywood is a great sheet material that can be easily cut using both hand saws and basic power tools.
Would you go with 3 4 inch plywood for a nice steady ride since the boat is light.
Hdo plywood is much like mdo plywood except that the density of the fiber surface layer is much greater.
I have done lots of carpenter work so it all sounds logical to me.
Replacing wood floor in alum.
Marine plywood is often used to build boat interiors and to replace flooring during boat renovations.
Its a bid more money but well worth it in the long run.
It s very easy to put a new floor in most aluminum boats so the down side of a low cost job not holding up long enough and needing to be done again isn t as critical as on a fiber glass boat.
Cheap exterior plywood and some kind of deck or porch paint for wood will hold up for several years and just use some sand as a non skid finish.
Floor materials for aluminum boat forget the mdo and hdo unless you want particle board in your boat mdo plywood features a surface layer of medium density fiber much like mdf.
Will the epoxy and glass help protect that deck from water and thus rot.
Use no other plywood except marine ply.
