I'm getting ready to lay the new floor and am wondering if I need to apply any kind of adhesive before I screw the floor down?

What type of deck?
Are you laying over the old deck?

I'm unsure with MDO as i've never worked with it.
However, I glued my plywood/glassed deck to the stringers and bulkheads with PL premium, then screwed it down.

Welcome to the iBoats Dry Dock!
It is totally up to you. Some do Some don't. Personally, I would do like Cierra and use PL Premium.
