Wanted: Marine Plywood

[Tarponjim]

I coated the wood after it was cut to size and test-fitted, but before I screwed it down. I coated the top, bottom and sides of the bare plywood. Complete seal. On the Durabak floor, it just needs the Durabak on the top and sides, but I sealed the bottom with epoxy. I also put 5200 silicone in the screw holes when I screwed it down. I may regret that later if I ever need to remove them, but that will be a long, long time since I sealed the wood. All the early rot and most serious failures of wood in marine applications I've seen is at the screw holes or cut-outs for seat bases. I tried to stop the water at its source. So far, so good!
