I have a 1978 Chris Craft Catalina with an interior floor I will be replacing. It is not secured and just rests on a ledge under all edges. It is approx. 7ft by 24 in with a hinge in the middle to allow access to the bilge pump under it. The last time I replaced it I used plywood and applied several coats of varnish on both sides and all edges. It lasted several years before moisture got to it. I am open to alternate ideas but I'm also fine with just getting plywood again and using varnish. The varnish looks good but doesn't last forever. I could go with fiberglass resin but I don't want it too slippery either. Any ideas?
 
I installed laminate teak in my galley and runway into v-birth.
It was Allure Teak planks, flexible 6x36" and you can cut it with a utility knife. I used a vapor barrier under it.

That was a few years ago and I'm now going to remove it and put down Plasteek Teak and Holley. It comes in 6' wide rolls and is glued down to underlayment.
