Looking for Diamond plate flooring

xdynamite · 08-12-2008, 11:09 AM

Does anyone know where to find some .125 Aluminum diamond plate material for a good price that I can use for flooring in my boat? I don't care if its used or scared up, I'm probably just going to spray bed liner on it anyway. What have you done? It's going in a duck boat.
Thanks, XD

If you are going to spray bed liner on it why don'y you buy smooth aluminum? It is about half the cost.

I didn't realize it was 1/2 the cost.
My thoughts with using diamond plate was weight, give it some dimension to break it up a bit and also to help so that it's not as slick when wet. I suppose I could use the sand in the bed liner trick. I figured there would be a place that had seconds or damaged plate cheaper that $390 a sheet.

Pacific Metals in Tualatin has remnant material. You can call them and ask what they have. PM sent with their number.
