Flooring Material question

[monkeyzdrunk]

Hello, so we recently were in Canada and the lodge boats were Lund Alaskans, could not tell the year, however it looked like the whole floor was composite, plastic, whatever you want to call it. We are in the beginning stages of 3 boat restorations, and wondering what the product is called.. really was impressed with that flooring - looked at alot of information but can't seem to nail down an exact product. seemed very durable and light weight than the usual marine wood etc.. Any help is appreciated TIA

could be any of the composites out there like Nida core or eqivalent. bear in mind, its 4x the cost of marine ply

I believe the original deck material on the Lund was wood with vinyl overlay.
