I was told about a product called FRP "Fiber Glass reinforced Plywood"
It come in upto 1/2 inch sheets. They use this stuff for trailers on semies.
Has any one used this stuff for floor?
Do you think it would work?
any imput would be great. thx.
 
Tolly Craft uses someting like that.
It seems to me they called MDO (Medium Density Overlay) and it amounted to layers of wood, and Fiberglass cooked and pressed into the layers.
I had an older Tolly that had a good bottom, sides and Transom, made of that stuff.
It showed no sign of Rot or invasion at the Chine where the Chine actually rotted away from the MDO.
Try the Tolly owners for some help on that stuff.
 
Try a good lumber yard that deals with contractors. The FRP faced plywood is used as a
top of the line concrete form material. Quite expensive.

You could do your own face layup with less waste to cutting.

There is another form board that has a Masonite face, resin impregnated, that works well also.
But again, you could do your own glass work cheaper.
