I replaced a soft deck on my Bonito using marine plywood fastened with SS screws and two part glue.( I used 1/2 ply) you may wanna use 5/8. I rolled a coat of two part polyester resin on the bottom side and edges before screwing it to the stringers,two layers of mat and cloth on the top with resin. For extra strenght I added two part foam under it by drilling 2" holes to allow for expansion. It's rock solid and takes a beating w/o any give.
