I am re-decking my deck boat. Should I fiberglass the underside of my plywood or can I leave it as raw plywood?

Re: Decking

at the very least, seal it with a good coat of resin... If left bare, it WILL get wet and eventually rot!

Never leave raw plywood. There are varying degrees of protection you can do to waterproof, but definitely do something. Never raw.

Good luck.
