If you use marine grade plywood, you will need to epoxy coat it. It is bare/natural, not treated to a higher pressure or more concentrated chemicals(where did that info come from?). That's a lot of extra work. You can use the preassure treated as-is. Good luck with your project! Post pics!
BTW - Saltwater does NOT rot wood.
You been building boats for 65 years like my old man? -- he started when he was 14 building trawlers out of cypress with a hand saw a hand drill and a steam drum. He may know a little something. What would the world be without Google?
If you'll call kemah hardware and ask them, they sell about 4 different grades of treated pylons and plywood -- each step up is and increased percentage of whatever chemical they use to keep that stuff from degrading these days. and yes I agree -- salt water doesn't rot wood but untreated wood lasts no time when submerged because there's all kinds of critters that eat it -- I've seen worms eat the whole bottom out of boats and off of pylons. (yea I know -- not the case in a boat floor but if it were me I wouldn't go the cheap route)

Please dont take this the wrong way. I have owned several flatbottom tin cans and can speak from my experience. Dont spend a dime on plywood. Rip it all out and run it bare floor.Your just adding weight to a tin can. If you want something on the bottom buy a rubber coated floor mat from home depot.Last edited by corndog; July 10, 2012, 07:48 PM.Bacon Bacon Bacon!!!
