Starboard for Fuel Tank Cover

[macojoe]

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.

just go ahead and repaint the deck you got nothing else to do right

All the red dots are Seaboard and then some!!

Don't know if these could have something non-skid and cheaper than
name brand.

Great find Parish!

Norristown is not that far from me and the price for a full sheet of 3/4 Seaboard is $211, thats not bad at all. This is why this site is great

I was checking the old threads about replacing hatches with starboard and found this. Did you seal those hatches in any way or are they free to open and close?

I 'm gonna replace all my hatches with starboard and was curious should I seal or not.

[macojoe]

Those are nice fish boxes, and they are suppose to come off all the time, they have drains in the bottom, no sealing needed! Unless you don't want to use them?? But what a waste that would be! I could hold 200 pounds of fish and not a cooler in site!

Yours are different, My boat is a 1975 and there was no gas tank in the floor, they were on the sides, two 20 gal saddle bags, for a total of 40 gal.

MJ's right...the 3/4 will span the 30" no problem, but don't use any color other than white cause it holds heat from sun in summer and gets too hot ... my lt grey surprised me that way...they actually make a diamond textured surface these days ...
