John boat decking.

In article ,
says...

I have a 14" heavy duty john boat. The boat came with foam under a thin
metal deck. The foam was saturated with water and disintegrated. I don't
think I can get the exact same foam thickness to reinstall the metal deck
and I don't care for the look of the metal sheeting. I realize that
marine plywood would be best, but it is hard to find and is expensive. I
would need two sheets. Is treated 1/2" plywood acceptable?

I would reuse the metal that was there (aluminum?)if you can. You really
don't want to change the weight of the floor that much, it could change
the way the boat sits and performs. If you have to use wood, try 6mm
ocoume, hard to find, expensive, but probably your best choice in my
opinion...
