Location: Ogden, Ut | As mentioned, it's hard to beat the strength to weight ratio of aluminum. Fabrication can be a bit more involved than some DIY projects however. Wood is (relatively) easy to work with but adds weight rather quickly, particularly w/ the square footage you plan to cover. I think the key is going to be a well thought out system of compartments that double as a place to stand rather than making a place to stand that has marginal storage capabilities. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Many of our work boats have decks w/ diamond plate aluminum - strong stuff, but wouldn't exactly work well with your interior as it currently is. And it's too slippery for my tastes.
