It's fortuitous that that this kicked up on my automated web searches. I'm a bass fisherman and am in the process of rebuilding the fishing boat I grew up with (Dad's). I don't know the first thing about fixing boats, and honestly, don't have a lot of time to experiment. It's always good to have new resources. I'll do some reading here! Thank you! Josh |

There are lots of folks here who know a lot about boats. Just ask the questions. What boat and engine are you talking about? |

Josh IGNORE this News Group. Try www.marineengine.com All you'll get here is a bunch of old ****s like herring talking politics, and guns in a Boating Group. Herring is the worst of the bunch, talking about guns all the time due to his short dick. Herring doesn't even own a boat. RUN..... |

Hello, I anticipate shipping it this coming week. :) This thing is a Big Fisherman with an (I think) Evinrude 15hp outboard. It is not much of anything compared to what I see many here have. Just something to get me out on the lake to fish when I have time. Josh Well, good luck with it. Give a shout here if you run into problems. Surely someone will have some good ideas. I'm looking forward to the new sight, although I'm thinking hard of getting a sniper version as I mentioned in a thread to Tim. |

When re doing the floor of my Marquis we used Georgia Pacific " dry ply" and a water sealant carpet glue. It's very water resistant.
http://www.buildgp.com/dryply-plywood It's just a few bucks more than regular plywood too. Seeing the boat doesn't sit out and gets occasional weekend and holiday use it should last as long as I care to use it. |

Probably if you sandwiched a few pieces if needed height, but they do have some thick stuff. Sandwiched like a glue lam beam. |

My boat is aluminum and has welded aluminum flooring supports. I used 5/8" ply last time, and Nautolex flooring over it. It is still in good shape, but the nautolex has some stains, and I think I have some soaked foam under the deck. |
