[QUOTE="aeviaanah, post: 283487, member: 6493"] Thanks! I think I had to finish at 1 1/4" thick...dont remember. I may have used a piece of 3/4 glued to a piece of 1/2 ply wood. Nothing marine or exterior grade. I just used a ton of waterproof coating. Another nice thing is my deck is removable...I used a few embedded wood nuts and fasted to the flanges of the existing bench seats. It is real sturdy across the span between the benches. I did reinforce with formed aluminum angle. I only weight 160 lbs tho. I used 1/2" plywood coated with an epoxy paint. As the boat is wider than 48" i actually have a seam in the ply across the center of the boat. That was held together with wood glue and the aluminum angle backing. [/QUOTE]
