Hi crew,

I have to replace the marine ply in my tiller steer Stacer Seahorse. It has developed a few soft spots from where it gets the most traffic. 

Has anyone used Thermolite for this and if so please let me know their results?

Compared to marine ply??

Do you have to put carpet down on this or is it ok to leave it bare?

 

Cheers

Happy Christmas

Rayke1938 just did his in alum sheet 2mm I think, he put a report on

it in the forum.

I need to do mine so I'll be watching.

Let's know what happens.

Hi there @Rooster69, I haven’t used the Thermolite composite boards before, but they do look the goods.

Are you able to get them at a wholesale or trade price? as the cost per sheet when compared to form ply of the same thickness is 4 or 5 times more expensive, that’s the only real downside I can see.

As for carpeting the Thermolite, it’s personal preference really, you could carpet, or paint (polyurethane), or just leave as is, the finish on the boards might be a bit slippery when wet though?

Before you fit whatever you use, wet it thoroughly, put on a pair of thongs, then attempt the moonwalk while drunk. 

If you manage to stay upright then you shouldn't need to cover it in carpet or non stick material.
