Its kinda heavy, and has little load strength, except over a substrate, like a wood floor

If you mean in a boat, I would say no. See post above me.

In your home over a solid base it is wonderful.

All the backer board in the world won't fix your boat, you have rot below the deck that just decking over the top won't fix.

Fiberglass boats rot from the inside out and the bottom up, by the time the rot has reached the decking the damage has been long done below deck.
