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....
