How to replace the deck

Post by esgbalt »

Hey

i am strating to get ideas on the trojan. But i have a couple of questions.

1. What should i use to replace the rear deck on my 25 ft trojan reg plywood , marine plywood, or pressure treated ply wood? i would like to fiberglass the floor and paint it?
we put a floor in my bros boat and used pressure treated plywood fiberglassed the top of it and used thompson water seal on the bottom of it and it has lasted 10 years and going stong is this right or should we do it another way on the trojan?

2.i also have to replace the bulk head what should i do for that?

Does anyone have any pics of them replacing the deck where the cockpit is?

instead of replacing the deck with fiberglass is there a way i can replace the teak thats really what i want to do but with out the teak price? or is fiberglass better?

If you replaced the deck with fibreglass you could use a product called Plasdeck that would give the teak look at what (I think) is a lower price.

http://www.plasdeck.us/index2.htm runs up to about $17.50 a square foot.
