on researching replacing the floor on my 1960 monkey wards seaking, I went to the library and checked out a couple books on fiberglass boat repair, problem was the eureka libaray did not have up to date meterial. old books. however it did list several composit flooring material that comes in 3x6 sheets with varying thicknesses.up to i belive 6 inch thick. some better than other or diffrent characteristics.they listed 3 at least.good, better, best.the best composit was water proof, and not effected by oil or gas. sorry but i cant remenber the make up of them and im sure there are many more brands now. so my question is my boat had a floor that consisted of some kind of wooden rails,fiberglass weave laid up and down over the wood and glassed then 1/4 ply with a thin layer of fiberglass mat that was glassed over.<br /><br />It would seem to me that this composit meteral staggered with the sealed ply over and glassed would make a far more superier floor than prior materals. could probly skip the ply as some of the composit meteral can be glassed directly. that is if you dident have seats mounted through the floor. I also think in my particlar situation that it would vastly improve the integrity of the hull over the old system.<br /> one problem I could see is how to obtain the shape of the hull on 3x6 sheets that might be trickey.<br />please any comments let me have it
