Boat interior flooring options

Indeed! Whats TSP?

Anyone ever tried that vinyl cushion paint. Anyone ever tried to go from a pacific blue to a white. I can find lots of info on light to dark sprays but can't find any dark to light sprays.

If you do it properly, the stuff works remarkably well. Just don't use any chemicals around it after. Not even aerosol bug spray.

Thanks RC, any idea whats the lifespan of that stuff? Sorry back to floors, I've seen a few vids where guys seal there corners and edges on the Eva with sika. Makes a nice little beaded seal and seems to hold up well.

I wouldn't count on it being a long term solution. Not without some touchups at least. I had two tone (bayliner blue and white) seats on my previous boat. Painted them a nice ivory white and it really classed it up for the boats new owner lol.

That's elastomeric paint. It's basically rubber. Great for automotive. Will not stand up to a fish boat

I’ve got 2 rolls of the grey flooring I ordered off Amazon I don’t need now. Paid $200, will sell for $125. Located in Vancouver but will be in Victoria this weekend. Sold

For those of you that have installed seadek or ultra deck, do you think it’d stick ok to resin covered plywood? It’s not perfectly flat. Would I need to sand first do you think or is the adhesive really strong?

my experience shows it to be really strong. Sticks well to painted fiberglass floors and stands up to being wet for short periods of time. Can see no reason to believe it will not do the same to resin covered plywood

I would try and get the high spots knocked down before putting it down flat with some “tooth” from the sandpaper and washed with acetone then dry and apply.

I wanted to do mine but I am still a bit hesitant.

It looks great and wonderful but I question when it needs to replaced how much of an absolute pain in butt it is to rip this off the day it needs replacing. My boat has just that simple textured fiberglass non skid as floor, and it gets dirty all the time so thought this would be a good solution.

I finally pulled the trigger on this with a newer company that does custom flooring same as ultra deck except they are local on island, and use sea deck material. My inside hull was already 3D scanned, and now just waiting on it getting the process going.

All pieces are pre-CNC custom laser cut with whatever you want. Nice as they come, and install everything/zero screwing around. I will post when it's done.

I could have put all this cheaper flooring down, but have zero time right now. I chose the 8mm thick option/darker industrial floor.

On related topic, i've got an aluminum boat and was curious if anyone have any suggestions for a materials to line the gunnel side pockets.

Anything in there vibrates/rattles like crazy against the hull and drives me crazy. Its going to be fussy work but would be interested if anyone knows of a peel and stick vinyl product that's not too thick.

i cut strips of the rubber restaurant floor matting. works great for vibe deadening in the gunnels, easy to pull out and rinse too.

Same stuff im using

Any luck on the finished product. Looking into this myself now.

Final approval is done, and it is out for cutting right now, and then it will be installed. I will let you know. The process is very slow that is only thing. I am guessing 6-8 weeks.

Top of my head I am thinking your $2k small boat and like $4k larger boat. I think Searun payed $4500 with outfit he used, and he got lot of extras put in.

Again probably would have bought boat rolls of seadeck did install, but I didn't have time with work etc, and this looks lot better in my opinion. I am not fan of that Amazon stuff myself.
