Thanks for the replies boys. A few questions based on your posts.
Jerry, would ACX work, or do they not make that in fir? (How can you tell its fir?). Also, would only using exterior paint seal it enough, or do I need to go the epoxy route?
You would need the exterior grade Fir plywood
(CDX
), check your local Home Depot/Menards. For the record; there's no question that epoxy coated marine plywood would be is the best, longest lasting job… it's also heavier, a lot more time-consuming, and probably twice as expensive.
I did two boats like this and each of them lasted for about 10 years before I moved on... what's the worst thing that can happen? 15/20 years when the carpet wears out you have to do it again?
