If you put some reinforcement on the underside it should be ok. But I would think it would be slick as boiled okra when its wet.

I was worried about it being slick, I was thinking the non-skid Seaboard would be a better option. If I recore the current cover I will have to grind out the spidercracks and repaint it, I would like to avoid painting the deck. Besides, my fiberglass skills are non-existent. I figured the "seafoam" color seaboard would be a close match to the existing color deck and I can use it the left over material for the small hatch in front of the tank.

3/4 will need no bracing! That stuff strong!!

And yes get the textured stuff, I did not find the 3 hatch covers in the floor to be slippery, but they were smaller then the hole middle of the floor.

Now Up here were I am we have a place that sells Sea Board, same stuff!! Cheaper. and more colors. I have no idea what they charge or were you can find it in your area??
But maybe they can tell you if you call them??

They are at http://www.jfreeman.com/cpg_seaboard.html

Thanks for the info MJ. the deck on my V-20 is not non-skid and I can tell you when it gets wet its like ice. The Seaboard I have seen has a grain to it which seems like it would provide some traction. the problem with the special non-skid seaboard is its only available in grey or polar white and won't match the current deck.
