Floor in the boat needs replacement
Any suggestions on where to get the wood for a boat floor. It is wood in a Hewes Craft, I have a few soft spots and need to do the entire floor.

Re: Floor in the boat needs replacement
I just called them and the price was pretty good.
Marine plywood 3/4=$100
5/8=$90
3/4 AB which they said most boat dealers use is
$50
5/8 smooth on one side
36.99
Not too bad of a price

Re: Floor in the boat needs replacement
I'm in the middle of doing mine. 5/8" MDO (Medium Density Overlay) smooth on one side, or both. Look it up on the net for details. A boat dealer recommended that as that is what they use as well.

Re: Floor in the boat needs replacement
I got the wood for my floor at Mr. Plywood. I used MDO. It's the same material North River uses for their floors.

Re: Floor in the boat needs replacement
Consider diamond plate. I hope to get another year, maybe two outta mine. When I do replace it I'm leaning hard on going with diamond plate. You'll never have to change it again.

Re: Floor in the boat needs replacement
Probably 1/8" or 3/16". It will be more spendy than plywood. Don't know how much more though. Like I said I was leaning toward this. I have been on several boats with diamond plate floor and it works great with no maintanance issues.
