Default And the wood is free


3/4 inch ply is on the heavy side for flooring in a 20 footer in my
opinion.

I stated that thickness, cause thats what I think (probably wrong)is
in there. I dont know for sure, yet. I'm gonna start tomorrow.
I suggested Cedar to friends, and they poo-pooed the idea, thinking
Cedar wasnt strong enough.I thought Cedar would make the boat smell
good, too.Its gonna get a bilge wash when opened up, as well. I just
gotta rent a good sewage pump whilst in there with the Power Washer to
keep up the outflow.I've had the side panel on the Port side out and
in already, and there was an incredible amount of dirt and dust in
there.It wouldnt hurt to re-paint parts of the bilge where the
original paint has peeled off.
It may sound to some like I'm doing a hell of a lot of work,
but thats the way I operate.I figure the boat will hold some value,
and to me a lot of value.Its in good shape for a 40 year old.
