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. Thanks Randy |

You will need to wait for Crews to return from his Honeymoon to get the correct answer. |

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 |

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 |

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

Sandy what did you say? I can't look at words when I can look at bouncing balloons. Ark thanks I was hoping you would throw me a bone. Randy |
