Hey folks!!....just joined, I've been lurking and reading for awhile and I want to say this is a wonderful site with many talented people. I have read a lot of the topics on full restore's and in the Boat House forum but did not find an answer my exact question and circumstances. So I ask this....
I have a custom built 2007 Legend Craft 1448 with front casting deck and rear bench, open center (80" from back of casting deck to front of rear bench). I now have marine grade plywood covered in astro turf in the bottom of the open area. I am going to pull this out and replace with aluminum. The floor braces are on 12" centers they are 1 7/8" tall, so I put 2" of closed cell foam in between the braces before I installed the existing plywood floor.....my question is--
Will .090 aluminum be thick enough to walk on with the foam underneath and the 12" on center braces?
Thanks for any and all help.
