Default materials to replace the wood floor in an aluminum boat

Hello all,
Can anyone provide me with some ideas on different materials to
replace the plywood floor in my Lund Rebel Special(aluminum fishing
boat that came with a factory installed floor, 1990s)?

....
Maybe take a look at:
http://www.boatdesign.net/wiki/Mater... ETERIORATION

which has some information on preserving and protecting wood.

Pressure-treated plywood CAN be used IF it's properly redried.. See
the references.

Epoxy coating is best. You have to keep the UV off it. I'd paint and
then carpet it....
