[Rhodes22-list] Floor Boards

[Rod ELLNER]

I think my 1987 boat is 1/2" plywood. Maybe 5/8". It is still solid and odor free. I did replace the table socket with a new plastic post base. It seems to work well. New post also. I did see a metal version of the base but I went with the less expensive plastic.
