I'm in the process of stripping our 2003 Sun Tracker Party Barge 200 to install new plywood and a vinyl floor. Plan on ordering from Pontoon Stuff.
I have everything off except the fuel tank, helm and carpet, and was doing some measurements.
I thought that I would just lay the 5-sheets of plywood(trimming around the motor area) and bolt them down. WRONG! I have to use a 19"x8' piece in the middle of the floor.
The z-channels on ours are spaced for:(bow to stern) 4'x8', 19"x8', 4'x8', 4'x8', 29"x~32"(each side of motor) There are other z-channels but they are not configured so as to do it any other way. WTF?
Just wondering why they would do it that way and not just use full sheets?
Oh yea, it only has 5/8" plywood on it from the factory, except the piece under the fuel cell, which is just over 1/2"!!(cheap bas 's)
Rant over...

They do some weird stuff... I have a 95 Sundancer and the front piece of plywood was 5x8... Didn't know that even existed. So I had to two piece it.
Mine was 5/8 as well... Secured in by those T slots on top of the crossmembers... So we have to cut those off and grind them down to accommodate 3/4...
