    I am replacing the 2 removable floor boards in my 1601. I was looking at what is the correct material to use(white ash). Is it boards that are connected via a biscuit or is plywood the choice?

    Thank you for any info

    High grade plywood. Marine plywood works good. Ed

    I took out the floor boards of my 1702 a few days ago to see about replacing them. The old ones seem to be made of some sort of soft and very flaky pressed board with a thin flexable sheet metal backing on the bottom. Is this original or was it replaced some time in the past? Thank you.

    Steve,

    That was the original material. I replaced mine with a sandwich of 1/4″ plywood top and bottom, with a filler of modern insulation/sound dampener material inside. I then protected the underside with sheet metal, same as the originals.
