1/4" Aluminum Sheets

[Desperado]

Here in Columbus Ohio, Research Alloy has 4'x16' diamond plate in diferent thickness'. Look up on the internet and see if you have one near you.

I just got done fixing up a little 14' jon so my lab and me can both be comfortable, I used 1x6 cedar boards, that came from Lowes,,, Cedar is light and works well with water,, it don't rot when wet, No coating needed, it will just fade to grey. lol I used some stainless deck screws to put it together.

Years ago,, the 50s and 60s, all row boats had raised floors out of cedar. It is not that expensive.

My 100 pound lab can lay on that front deck part and be as comfortable as an old hound dog, Putting this boat together is gonna be an answer to high gas costs,, the 9.5 will use one heck of a lot less than my 90hp on my 19' Roughneck.

Skipping the 1/4" and going thinner , but for sure want to get away from the plywood . After checking the place that my bro in law told me 1/4" was 99.00 a sheet , I found he was a bit off on price but still under 400.00 a sheet . Here is the place .

Ummmm working with .25 Plate Alloy isn't for the unskilled and is WAY overkill for inland applications short of the mudboat-swamp stump jumpers. For skiffs and jons, .125 is plenty and still light enough so you can go the haul and carry route like we do with our 14' in the extended van.

Most retail aluminum boats are .100 and they get'er done everyday.
