Boat Floor Replacement

[mjlevie]

The floor in my boat is rotted and I need to replace it.  Does anyone know where I can get marine grade plywood locally?

I'm sure you can get it no matter where you live but I got mine from Wheelwright lumber in Ogden. If you don't live up here, 
I'd suggest you just call around to your local lumbers stores.

Curt is right, I replaced mine 5½ years ago getting marine treated plywood at Wheelwright. They have a couple of different size thickness.

I don't know how you feel about home Depot lumber but my son in law got his from them he did have to order it as well

Look into carbon fiber board instead of marine plywood. Also, when you go to re carpet, check out Sea Deck ! The carbon fiber sheets may be a bit more expensive, but it does not rot !! Sea Deck is fantastic, wish I knew about it when I re carpeted my rig !!

Thanks for the input. I'll look into those. Definitely looking into the Sea Deck instead of carpet.

Where do you get your carbon fiber board?  What thickness would you use?

Thanks.

If this is a fishing boat, my suggestion is use a marine grade vinyl flooring over the wood. Carpet holds a lot of dirt and when your dealing with scents & bait's it can't destroy the carpet sooner. A washdown helps if one is not installed.

That's exactly what I did with my last boat, used vinyl flooring over the wood.

I to got my marine grade plywood from Wheelwright lumber. I used a roll on flooring called Duraback. I think I did it over 5 years ago and it looks as good as the day I put it down. It comes in several different colors.

I've used Durabak in mine as well. I didn't use Marine Grade plywood, just basic stuff. Bombproof! My boat gets 130 days a year of use in all kinds of Flaming Gorge weather. Durabak for the win. I coated the bottom of the plywood with epoxy to seal it.

It has been years since I looked into it so I can't remember the outfit (early on set Alzheimer's, can't remember a thing !!) I know there were at least two outlets in SLC that carried it. It was a corrugated composite that came in various thickness'. They also carried the resin for it. Sea Deck is sold by the guys at the Snow Dog/ Minn Kota repair outfit in Orem ( name????).

[mjlevie]

Thanks for all the input. You guys are great.

I believe you are talking about Backwater. They are the snowdog outfit in Orem

Wheelwright lumber is where I got mine , it's pricey.
