[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 397790, member: 337"] I used marine plywood (from Menards) to rebuild a utility pontoon and then had Line-X apply a light gray coating. It's help up, stored outside, for 20 years. It was expensive but it worked great because it sealed the seams and the edges (the coating went right up onto channel metal holding the plywood). In my experience, it's the bottom and edges (encased parts) that rot out because they stay wet way longer than the the exposed wood on top. I don't think decking has the stiffness / rigidity required LB. Down side of coatings is that any failure to seal (bolt holes, etc.) wets the wood from the inside - and it never ever dries out. I think you're better off with water seal/beading treatment of some sort. [/QUOTE]
