Testing Options

Sorry but that is an imported plywood that was reported to fail and a few other thing.
But for what your doung just give it a good seal all over and all should be ok.
If yah need a replacement just yall, and I will sell yah at cost a sheet of BS1088 marine plywood or a Tulsa filmfaced with mesh one side and fil other.
And I,m only at Parramatta not far from Lidcombe.

So are you telling me my step son sold me an inferior product that needs to be fully sealed before it's any good for a floor in a boat.
I asked him to get me something suitable for the job.
There may be some conflict around the Nimrod household when I confront him about this one.

Daniel. The hull is a Quintrex JON boat it is 4.9 metres long 1.8 metres wide.
They are made in aust for export to America where they are sold as gun boats, mainly for duck hunters in marshes etc.
They are a very lightweight boat so they can easily be carried over fields etc and launched in places where heavier boats would be akward to launch.
You can't normally buy them in Australia, but there is about 5 of them still here.
Of coarse I am taking away the lightness factor with this boat and building it up much more heavy duty then it was.
I can't do anything about the thickness of material, but I can make the structure strong.
I got a 40 hp electric start, but manual tilt Tohatsu 2nd hand 2003 model.
