[QUOTE="thill, post: 518846, member: 4972"] I have done a number of floors out of regular BC plywood. The trick I have used is to saturate the wood with Thompson's Wood Preserver before adding carpet, texture, paint or whatever. Saturate it to the point of refusal, and it will literally bead water like a car. The protection is not just surface, but penetrates. After it dries, glue, carpet adhesive and paint stick to it with no problem. I kept my carpeted Princecraft outside. I tried to keep it covered, but not always. It is rock-solid after about a decade now, with no issues. [ATTACH type="full"]122283[/ATTACH] I recently sold that boat and have been questioning that decision ever since. But I have no doubts about the plywood treatment I use. [/QUOTE]
