Yep, I'll post a photo of it shortly with the wood removed.

Edit, you said flatbed, not utility. You mainly hauling small machinery on it?
I have hauled all kinds of stuff with it, but it will be mainly used for hauling around a couple of catarafts from now on.

For that trailer 3/4" CDX would do the trick.
Tongue and groove joints would keep all seams the same elevation and provide strength at the seams.
Good Luck.

And not allow water to drain

Last deck you would ever need to put on and no maintenance required

I would go 1/8 inch No slip No rot (AKA steel diamond plate), you could go 1/4 but that would be over kill
Last deck you would ever need to put on and no maintenance required
Any idea where the best place to purchase and any idea on what 7 foot 5 inch x 15 foot 8 inch would run....roughly?

You'd be looking at about 600 pounds.

Yeah but only 339 lbs heavier than 1 1/8 plywood and will last forever but i understand some people dont want the weight, not sure where in your area to buy it, check with metal salvage yards as they sometimes have some around or can get it for you.I would go 1/8 inch No slip No rot (AKA steel diamond plate), you could go 1/4 but that would be over kill

Which may be longer than what appears to be a light duty trailer

I did a trailer deck with some 2x12 laminated veneer boards i got for practically free, figured i would treat them with something to make them last, never did and they lasted almost 13 years..

You going to put a roller on the back? Sure is impressive watching those guys unload and load their boats fulling loaded while I am still putting mine together.
Good call right there.

Just don't park it on a flat spot if it's that big a concern

Probably not, our catarafts don't weigh much and handle like a pig if you load them up too much.

Nice boat. We usually do longer trips, so there tends to be a bit more stuff.
