Floor replacement thermo-lite or marine plywood

[kaelc]

Has anyone replaced their floor with thermo-lite boards? They seem to be popular on river boats due to their light weight.

Anyone know where the closest place to buy sheets of it and if not, where is a good place to buy marine plywood on the island?

I bought my marine plywood thru windor mill sales in Campbell river.I forget the proper name but it was all mahogany and had no voids.1" sheet was expensive $120 I think and was something like 12 layers.

I put 1/2" polyethlene in my 19' alum boat in 1999 - never touched the floor since and it has been soaked many many times. It's more cost than plywood but lasts forever and its easy to work with.
I don't know where to buy any on the Island but it is available on Annacis island in Delta.

Thanks! Did you use the seaboard lite? Pretty easy to cut?

Yeah, Jac. That's where I got the idea, while hunting for my current boat a few months back. Looking for a local supplier of the same material.

Try industrial plastics, they have everything and are local on the island - Nanaimo and Victoria.

Thanks for the ideas. Tried industrial, the front staff were not helpful at all. Compared to the great service I get from Trotac and Island Outfitters, industrial plastics seemed like Zellers.

Flooring upgrade on hold, while I pay for vet bills and a hit and run on my car. At least I have money to fish!
