[QUOTE="richg99, post: 432481, member: 4376"] It sounds like we are all on the same track here. My "new" deck on my 1652 G3 is made up of a sandwich of Blue foam panels laid LOOOSLY in between the aluminum supports. They are laid in there loosely so that, if and when water gets in, the loose fitting panels allow drainage around themselves. The boat has three large drainage slots front to back. On top of the Blue foam, I have a very thin aluminum sheet. I now think that it wasn't necessary at all, but it was left over from my scrapped Lowe 1648. My original plan was to glue the topping onto the aluminum sheet. 1/4 Exterior plywood with vinyl sheeting tucked under the edges and screwed down. I made up the decking in two sections. That way, I can easily remove one or the other if I have to get to the wiring underneath. richg99 [/QUOTE]
