Yes, a web search brings up a lot of info about it. I agree it looks
like an ideal substitute for regular ply. I didn't have much luck
finding any retail sources on the web, they were all industry or
supplier links. One company was finishing one side of it with various
colors for marine use.

I've heard that stuff mentioned before. Where do you get it? I've
not noticed it in lowes. It sounds like a good material to consider
for outdoors sorts of projects.

I have ripped out the floor out of my boat as it was pretty
rotted. Replacing it with plywood is not an issue, should I
cover the whole peice of plywood in fibreglass to stop it from
rotting again, or is there a paint/stain/sealer I can paint the
wood with before I carpet it that would be better and less
expensive?

Thanks!

I would go with pressure treated plywood. Try to get it close to
dry before covering it with anything, I have heard it takes a
full six months of drying out before anything will bond with it
correctly. Having said that, I used PT to rebuild a set of
seats. I used PT construction adhesive and it worked great and I
did not try to dry it out. If you don't need the strength or can
simply go to a larger size of PT, you could probably forget the
fiberglass. Providing of course that you can get enough screws in
it to prevent it from warping....

Consider HDO (High Density Overlay) outdoor sign material. More
expense than marine ply but totally waterproof. Jim

I've gotten small pieces at a local outdoor sign company. I live in
Idaho and they get their's from Portland, Or. I was told that a 4 X 8
sheet of 3/4" was $115 + shipping. You might run a search for
suppliers. Jim
