I just can't understand why nobody will make something decent looking like the pirelli flooring but thick and soft like the stuff your describing.

El Indio's 41 had it.
It felt like more than in inch of padding, under a layer of pirelli flooring.

Yeah stormrider you nailed it. Do you know if that was just pirelli glued to something??

Neoprene in whatever thickness you want, then glue carpet or pirelli etc over it. I made some pads to stand on this way, works great.

I'm pretty sure that's all it was, but it was the entire cockpit flooring, which isn't a large area in 3man setup.
But it was real soft.
You may want to check w/ the current owner, who is on these boards.

Here is the stuff that actually absorbs the impact.

Look up Sea Dek. It is a soft material that has a adhesive backing and you can buy in sheets in different colors. You can also have them engrave a logo or whatever you might want. I'm thinking I will use this stuff when I pull my carpet up and cut my floor to replace my fuel tank. If I had only known about this stuff a few years ago I would have redone the whole floor in my Bertram with it instead of painting it and putting a non slip additive in it.

That seadeck looks pretty cool. I might have them send some samples

I have 3 on the way! Looks like some nice stuff.

Go on redneck trailer supplies part #tms48x7 ref #376897 Just installed it in my 41 it is very good glued the carpet to it works great. It is very light.
