[QUOTE="Zubes, post: 224755, member: 3204"] I'm pretty sure I used 5/8" (I think it was actually listed as 19/32"). I bought it a few months ago so I don't really remember. I'd measure it for you, but my boat (and scrap wood) is stored at my parent's house for the time being. The required thickness all comes down to how much bracing you build underneath it. It was just standard plywood from HomeDepot. I believe marine grade is very pricey and you DO NOT want to use treated. The chemicals used do not get along with our aluminum hulls. If you want it to last forever, go ahead and coat it with water sealer (Thompson's, etc). As long as you keep it reasonable, the weight shouldn't be a problem, but it's good to keep it in the back of your mind during your build. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
