[QUOTE="vman24, post: 480877, member: 29940"] Good morning everyone, Need some advice. I have been doing some research regarding modifying jon boas. Recently got a new Lowe L1440M. First step is to put a floor over the ribs in the main section. I am planning to get some closed cell foam, cut in strips to put between the ribs. Trying to decide on what to use on top. Maybe 1/2" plywood painted with enamel based paint, then covered with either carpet or sea dek. Really like the army camo sea dek. Or should I get pvc board either in 1/2" or 3/8" if they have it. My understanding is that you can paint pvc board. Obviously PVC board will last forever where as plywood will not. If I go the plywood route, I think I will make it removeable - just planning to lay it in and cut notches for the ribs and remove in the winter. Any advice on which to use? I am trying to keep this strong and as light as I can go. Need to make a lightweight frame for the casting deck as well but not there yet. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
