Hi, Captal. <br /><br />What sort of boat are you talking about? What did it have before?<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

Well, Captal, I still don't know much about your boat, but I can suggest that you don't put carpet in it. Carpet grabs and holds moisture. . . an invitation to rot. Use a non-skid waterproof coating similar to Rhino-Lining that you can hose off.<br /><br />The wood. If you have a classy boat use mahogany marine plywood with several coats of spar varnish. If your boat is more entry-level, use treated 1/4" A-C or A-D plywood, stained and varnished.<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)
