Was up at my brother's resort over Memorial day. He had just replaced the flooring in his 10 year old 17 foot Alumacraft. The old flooring had finally rotted and had mushrooms growing on the carpet. When he went to the lumberyard to get some marine plywood he came across some tongue and groove wood tek (the kind of composite material now used as porck decking). He purchased that instead; bored holes and sunk screws through the tongues into the aluminum floor braces. Then siliconed the joint between the end of the boards and the aluminum sides on the boat. Ended up with one of the nicest, easiest to clean floors I have ever seen in a boat. Won't rot, slip resistant, hooks don't get stuck in it, etc. Only shortcoming is that it is harder to pick up a dropped minnow off it than off carpeting.
Anybody else done this?
