deck on aluminium boat

[myusernam]

Hi I have a ply deck with carpet covering glued and fixed to aluminium frames over a diesel engine.
I'd like to do away with the carpet and am thinking of re-doing the ply.
what are my best optins do you think instead of carpet?
Flowcoat with non skid? Rhino lining? should I glass over the ply instead of just resin or paint or flowcoat?
Seadek? (there are hatches i.e. engine room hatch, storage hatches etc.
If Seadek I understand it wont stick to ply. What if i used formply as it has a nice smooth surface? (Wouldnt be able to glass though)

are you redoing the whole floor or just the engine hatch..? and is the engine hatch above deck level or flush..?

There are a host of options - all comes down to how much money you want to throw at it. Glass over ply, Coosa or Thermolite, Holypan or similar poly honeycomb type floor paneling to name a few. If you are thinking Seadek, get in contact with someone like Machine-It and ask if they have a preferred substrate for getting the best adhesion.

Whole floor needs doing. The current floor is 20 years old and there are some large gaps. T hink i can flowcoat and then apply seadeck to flowcoat. Indint think thermolite is much lighter. Only 3kg or so lighter than ply. Wonder if its as durable as a straight ply floor. I can imagine edges chipping etc
