That's because i'm a perfectionist.

And most people in Florida are in slow motion.

It must be all that sun! LOL

You would never know it but my tiger is asymmetrical as hell! Of course the floor has been out in my boat. When I did my Marine mat, we did a couple of the mylar templates to really get it right. Turned out good.......
I think you’d be fine same era / model boats. Only concern I’d have would be the bolsters. I mean if the bolsters are 1” off in any direction you’re kind F’d I suppose. But as far as deck and cabin I think you’d be fine. Most places do that paper template thing anyway. These guys came out and measured it themselves so that was cool.

Lucky Strike, who did yours? I am in Illinois so I would feel safer making a template to be sure it fits perfect.

ill post some pics when it’s in. They do the template thing too. If it’s cost affective and comes out good, worth an inquiry.

Definitely, post some pics as soon as you get it done. Did they have any issues doing the "Cigarette" logo?

Yes, I didn't have the luxury of having someone close enough to measure so I had a couple trial and error templates. Bolsters were definitely wonky.....

One advantage to marinemat is that it snaps in and can be taken out but same material as SEAdeck but not glued .
ZOOM, I spent an hour at a place on the way home from LOTO, they measured everything and 2 weeks later I got a quote for $4000. not including any logos. I wasn`t born yesterday.

Seems most charge $1500-$2k

That's more like it.

I like being able to take mine out and wash it. My footrests are snapped in and the rest is just laid in. I meant to put some Velcro down but never got around to it. It will lift up a little in some wind conditions but it's rare......
