It's so easy to say "just keep going" and from the looks of things it is....hopefully you have a budget set and it's within your allowed $$$ amount.
|
The budget got blown the first day we decided to take out the cabin........Hopefully we are getting to the end of it. I look at it as something that has to be done to enjoy the boat. There is really no other option than to fix it and do it right. I could mothball it and wait a couple of years and spend the money then.... but then I am paying insurance and storage on something I can't use.
It is what it is. |
Questions for all of you out there. I have ALWAYS wanted a mahogany floor and now is the time to do it if I want to. I just don't want something that is pretty but utterly useless in a boat.
How bad are they to maintain, are they unbearably hot? Are they too slippery? Durability? Has anyone used a commercial rubber/vinyl plank floor on a boat? I have been looking at this another option. |
With no answers as yet I'll offer my opinion but will also suggest to PM Glass Dave, or maybe even better as the question in the Glass section.
Mahogany is a real nice color wood but the sun will bleach it out. Assuming your going to varnish it, when wet it will be a bit slippery. You also don't want to have anything on it which mat be wet or damp for any length of time. I think Teak is a better choice but still has some of the similar traits. May want to think about the imitation stuff |
Didn't some of the playboys have teak in them ?
|
That is my dilemma . I love the look but am afraid of day to day utility. I am going to look at the rubber/vinyl stuff but I want it to look good not cheap or cheesy.
Yes a few of the playboys had them. Whatever I put in will be sealed with epoxy. |
Today's update.
Cockpit cleaned and ground ready to put back together, cabin starting to go back in. Pictures to follow. |
|
Keep going and get it all done. Nothing worse in my opinion than seeing last years finished project filthy with this years fiberglass dust!
