Answer 1

Hello, I too had a V hull boat with bad decking.  I when to my local Home Depot and purchased 4 X 8 5/8" sheets of wolmanized plywood. I cut the plywood to fit.  I also bought 2X4 composite decking to build the base supports under the decking if needed.  Using coated deck screws, the platforms went together quite fast.  After all decks are made, I sealed all decks with a high quality home outside deck sealer oil.  I think i put on at least 4 coats. Even the wolmanized plywood soaked up the oil.  The oil makes the water bead up.  I even used the plywood to create benches.  Just make sure that when you sand or cut wolmanized wood, always use a dust mask. I hope this helps.
