[QUOTE="SVOMike86, post: 156265, member: 2070"] So I was gonna use the 1/2" ply I had cut earlier for the decks, but I kept going back to the post someone had about "Advantech". I went to Home Depot and the had the "Home Advantage" (supposedly the same stuff). If yall havent seen that post, its pretty interesting stuff. Its OSB, had supposedly has a 50 year warranty, and apparently the stuff can be submerged forever and not absorb any water or distort. We'll see. I got 23/32" (basically 3/4"). Its heavy, but I think I need some weight up front anyways. I got it cut yesterday for the front deck and sealed it with 3 coats of Helmsman Spar today. 2 big hatches in the front, both are going to open from the rear. The seat base is obviously not all the way down, but the front hatch will clear it when it is swung up. We got the back deck and hatches cut out, but I didnt think to take any pictures of it before we put the stuff back in the shed. I used Nomex panels for that, they are 1/2" thick. I'll take pics of them as soon as I go back over there.[ATTACH type="full" alt="boat deck, from front..jpg"]16272._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="boat deck, from rear.jpg"]16273._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
