    Non-wood materials to rebuild a boat floor

    Has anyone experienced success getting all the wood out from under the floor of their boat? After patching my rotted floor, I'm going to try to find an alternate method when I rebuild the entire floor. Perhaps a metal frame as opposed to wood stringers and a plastic or acryllic floor? Anything?
