    I was going to check home depot. I am basically looking for some wood grain/vaneer style flooring. It is REALLY thin and it is going to go on top of the wood under the top coat of resin and should look really good.
    Thanks.

    I don't think I would do tha Don. a thin vaneer is great if you're looking at doing a piece of furniture but with all the moving and moisture a boat goes through it will come apart..sorry...v-drive

    I agree, moisture & any kind of interior wood flooring don't match.

    Don't goto the home centers. Goto a hardwood dealer like Higgins (http://www.higginshardwoods.com/)
    A few of us have had great success with the venier. Sandwiched between chopped mat & woven cloth, using epoxy (penetrating) resin.
    Its alot of work but the outcome is awsome.
    Send me a pm if you need more information.

    If you want to take it down to the wood and laminate a veneer over it thats one thing. Then your stringers are gonna look like :yuk: . You have no idea how much work it is. If your gonna do it, do it right. Think about paint Or Gel coat and paint it like wood. I've seen a couple that you could not tell unless you knew and looked VERY close. I hate to see people put a lot of work in something and have it turn to crap. And I know your boat has a lot of history with your family.
