A friend and I are undertaking a floor replacement in a ski boat. Trying to locate all of the resin and fiberglass for the project. Found several places on the Internet to purchase but would rather keep the money local if we can. Any suggestions on who or where we can purchase it locally or near by?

I hope you are using marine plywood and not that pretty cabinet stuff.

I use KDAT lumber for stringers but it cost about 4 times regular treated lumber.

Luckily the stringers are in good shape. Going to glass over them then put down the floor.

You probably already know this, but it is very beneficial to screw down the floor before the glass over the top of the stringers is hard. Can be stressful! I cover only the top of the stringers just prior to mounting the floor. The rest I will have already done. Oh yea, SST screws. Hope it goes well. Houseboat

I knew that but any advice is helpful. Hopefully it will go smoothly. Thanks
