Will this product work as floorboards on my boat ?. Also how much does 4 by 8 sheet weigh ?.

I don't have the specifics to answer your question....but maybe this will help. In order for HDPE or HDPP to be a floorboard, I would estimate it would have to be at least 1/2" thick and supported about every foot. It would be heavier than plywood. Also, when wet is is very slick. A 4X8foot chunk would be quite expensive and even more than marine plywood. I would suggest you buy marine grade plywood as it is not subject to rot like regular plywood. Marine plywood is designed to be in wet and high humidity areas, as all layers are glued with water-proof glues. Home Depot in some areas carries it at less than $100 a sheet. Some locations may even stock the 5X8 foot sheets. Chances are your boat has a transom that is made out of marine plywood. Most fiberglass boats have marine plywood built in the transom. My aluminum boat does. Here is a site that explains marine graded plywood. http://www.apawood.org/level_b.cfm?content=srv_help_prd_marine There is no good adhesive for HDPE that actually makes a good bond. Some have had some success with sanding to roughen the surface, washing with acetone, completely drying and then fire treating before applying adhesive. Something an individual can not possibly do properly. I hope this helps.

I used 2 rolls to cover 12 feet of pressure treated wood for my 16ft V-hull Starcraft. I don't know how much for your 20' boat, but I would ugess at least 4 rolls.

For my 8' pontoon boat, I use an 8 lb mushroom on lakes. I doubt you'd need more than that.

I don't think that would be a good use for this product. This product is too lightweight to hold a carpet. You need a carpet-specific product for that. I use these strips for crafts in general - paper and so on - and they are effective for that. They are not heavy duty at all. I hope that's helpful.

So considering that a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" plywood is roughly 86 pounds plus trim you will have a lot of weight to support if totally mounted on a wall. The mounts are pretty strong but I would use 4 with good screws that securely fasten to 2x4 wood studs not metal studs.

Hello H.R. I have installed this flooring onto a plywood subfloor, with absolutely NO trouble. The backing is very sticky, I would think as long as there is no dampness, and no debris I think it might work. But, I give no guarantee:-P. Good luck with your project, with whatever you decide.LJ

I have a 21' boat with a 5 liter V-8 which weighs about 5,000 lbs, and I use this dolly to maneuver it into it's spot on the carport. My surface is concrete, not asphalt. With that in mind, I have no problem getting the boat into place. You don't have to worry about tongue weight with that caster wheel unless you are going to try to roll over grass or dirt. The only real difficulty occurs when I have to turn the boat because the trailer has dual axles and the wheels like to go only in a straight line.

You should consult someone that installs floors. I don't know how this product would work as a subfloor.

This is a very sturdy ramp. I think a boarding ramp for an old house boat would work provided it is set and leveled properly. I'm surprised this is sold as dog ramp it's heavy bulky too much to take in and out of car I used it only a few times. Good luck

Wish I could help, but so far I've only used these strips...2 at a time...to hang some relatively light-weight, 8x10 framed water colors on my office walls. And that worked wonderfully, but clueless re whether it would hold 8 lbs. Sorry.

I'm sure it would work on a deck boat, but in order for it t work on any type of boat, it will have to have holes drilled into the floor for the cups that will hold the ladder in place securely.

The foam should work fine. You may want to look into marine grade vinyl for the covers as boat cushions tend to have excessive sun and (salt) water exposure.

This is very thin material and I would not recommend for heavy outside use. I'm assuming when you say "Aluminum Boat" that you mean a skiff type of boat, not a boat with an interior cabin area. It would be fine for interior cabin boat applications such as speaker boxes, temporary mats, and covering walls. It may be ok for temporary in a boat that only sees freshwater, but I would not consider this to be used in saltwater at all, not even temporary.

I have built 2 8' drop leaf tables with these, using 4 per leaf. I don't know a weight rating, but I would be very worried about these to support the weight of a person. They just aren't that heavy. They also frequently need a little push on the middle of the diagonal; support to collapse them, so they might not be suitable for something as low as a step.

Hi, you seem very smart for asking me those questions. actually those question are almost what we thought about when we designing this product. You can also visit Seamax Boat website for more support. And you can purchase it for what your need.

I think this would be too small, I only used this for a plaque not for actual boating purposes. Sorry I couldn't give a better answer.
