I wouldn't have the slightest clue as to whether Duett and 544/444 floorboards are enough alike to bother with, but I don't think good marine plywood is a bad idea for floorboards. My Dad's '51 Jaguar XK120 has wood floorboards. I think they are probably a good deal quieter than steel, probably stiffer than steel. I don't know about the fiberglass epoxy, though. Plywood floorbaords would work best when securely fastened to a solid perimeter. Perhaps cutting out the rotten floorboard all the way to the vertical seams on all 4 sides, securely welding in some medium weight angle iron in a perimeter, then cutting a fitting board and bolting it in every 5 or 6 inches would work well, along with some silicone sealer.
