I'm rebuilding the front floor my old lund... Mostly cuz the floor had a rotten spot. I tore out the plywood and carpet - (man these things are built solid!!!) Anyhow, my plan is to put a new elevated floor in, with storage compartments underneath, (for anchor, tacke, lifejackets) and a place for my battery to rest in the bow for the trolling motor. My question is, will regular 3/4" Plywood work for this? It's an old boat (1982), so I don't need the floor to last 20 years, and I don't want to invest $200 on just wood. Should I water seal the plywood?
Storage - Basspro and Cabelas sell pre-made aluminum lids, but they're like $70. I'll likely put 3-4 in. Does anyone have experience making these from piano hinges and plywood?
