Once out I'm thinking to replicate the floor using a marine grade plywood, and epoxy coat it.

My dilemma afterwards is, do I cover the floor with insulation and carpeting, or put some veneer on top and leave the wood exposed (for aesthetic purposes)?

Cheers,

I haven't had to replace any wood floors. I know there are posts on it but I think most of them are buried in build threads. Maybe someone that follows the Suburban build threads will remember.
