Gerritt Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Many of you have asked me to keep you updated on the progress with the boat both in threads and in PM's... Your wish is my command... you might remember this... The partial rear floor going in... Room for water run off and swelling... another pic.. here is the second part of the back floor going in. I left a 6" space so I have room for the bilge pump and plug... I did the floor in two pieces so I could easily remove the small back portion (removing 4 screws) to clean out any debris.. you might notice I had to seam the vinyl I ran out... Ohhh well.. if it lifts (which it probably will) it will be easy to replace... Here is a shot of the completed floor Here is a shot of the GPS puck location Fishfinder and GPS w/ Ram mounts Here is her cover... Now I only have to add the stereo and speakers tidy up a couple odds and ends... And she is done... For this year at least I hope this post gave you a bit of insight in how to do your own boat floor... I went a bit overkill.... but I know I will not have issues in the future.. Thanks for looking. G.
huntervasili Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Dang G... looking mighty fine. Glad to see its pretty much good to go!
ccmtcanada Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 SWEEEEEEEEEEET! Looking awesome Gerritt....a professional looking job if you ask me.
irishfield Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 "Gap to allow for swelling and draining"... is that a carpenters way of saying he didn't measure twice and cut once? LOL Looks GREAT Gerritt... you could work for Lund but then again your quality is toooo good for them!
Tarzan's Jane Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Pretty spiffy...great job...at least it'll stay clean for a bit
Hookset Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Nice and clean Gerritt. Well laid out too. Where'd you get the vinyl ? Hookset.
Bitsmith2k Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 real nice job G.. ahh.. run a beed of contact cement over that seam... i had to put a seam on mine too.. 9' wasnt enough to cover the whole floor.. gonna need to order some more vinyl too

Gerritt Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Posted April 20, 2008 Nice and clean Gerritt. Well laid out too. Where'd you get the vinyl ? Hookset. A local place here in Hamilton that Solopaddler put me on to.. Special Touch located here in Hamilton. Wayne, it was planned LOL... I also do not want the floor rubbing against the boat when underway or if the boat flexes Thanks for all the comments guys! G
maybe Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Looks great! One question, though - does this vinyl have some sort of surface treatment that keeps it from being slippy when wet?
Gerritt Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Posted April 20, 2008 Looks great! One question, though - does this vinyl have some sort of surface treatment that keeps it from being slippy when wet? Sure does it is textured G
