[QUOTE="SVOMike86, post: 130650, member: 2070"] Thanks for the kind words guys. This thing is taking a lot longer to do than I wanted, but what else is new. I wonder if those places would have 1/2" ply also. 3/4" is a little too much for me I think, and with all the support you have in yours Cav, you might want to check out the weight savings of 1/2" versus 3/4". I'm really flip floppin on if I want to do the fiberglass/wood route like Rat, or call up a scrap yard and get some aluminum. I have a 5'X2' piece of 1/8" aluminum I laid across my supports, and even on the big stretches where the hatches will go, it seemed to support me pretty well. We'll see... [/QUOTE]
