 aluminum flooring??I am looking to put some alum tread plate in the floor of my jon boat. Is 3/16" thick enough with 11" on center ribs to keep the metal from bowing without a foam piece underneath? I can get a sheet 4'x16' x 3/16" sheered to my needs for 400 bucks.

Re: aluminum flooring?? You will need to wait for Crews to return from his Honeymoon to get the correct answer.

Re: aluminum flooring?? plenty thick and you may already know this but notch out around where the cross braces come up and it will make it that much stronger with the edges sitting on the side and on the cross braces...hope you understand what im gettin at

Re: aluminum flooring?? Willett I sure do. Right now my net boat has 3/8 marine plywood but soon to have the 3/16 tread plate. I spoke to my buddy about this project and he said 'oh yeah I got access to a 8' shear and a large sheet bender. Now thats what I'm talking about. Joel I'm needing some beef under this body.
Thanks for the replys. Randy _________________ I got a shotgun,rifle and a Go Devil Surface Drive a country boy can survive. 35+hp GDSD engine mods by George Merta 18x48 GDSD boat |

Re: aluminum flooring?? That's a little overkill Randy,
I'd go with 1/8 5052. 3003 will flex to much. |
