What to use for the floor

[bigheaded5]

Picked up a second SPORTCRAFT today and the floor is SHOT. I ripped it out with my son and this weekend we should be ready for the new install. my question is what can you use for the floor?

I hear 3/4 marine grade ply is preferred, but wondering if you can use any other type of 3/4 thats available at the local lumber yard (cheaper) A friend told me you can use standard 3/4 ply and just coat it with epoxy

I used 3/4 Auroco ply..covered it with CSM and poly resin.....

Is that stringer and those bulkheads ok?
