Cockpit flooring......
 

does anyone have detailed pictures of your cockpit floor? i'm installing Lonwave in Speed Racer and would like to get some ideas. the cockpit floor is 6'3" wide, but the Lonwave comes in a 6' wide role. the logical way to run it, would leave a small amount of the floor showing on each side. is there 1 1/2" of floor showing on each side of your cockpit, just curious?

thank in advance,
chad

this picture shows it covering almost the entire floor. :confused:

What is your measurement from the front of the cockpit to the base of the back seat? Mine is less than 6 feet, not sure about the TG's:eureka:

craig-

the total measurement from the cabin entrance to the bulkhead located behind the rear seat is 7' 6". i will be removing the back seat, which will allow me to run it all the way to the bulkhead, so that the floor located under the rear seat is covered too.

Where do you purchase the flooring at?

cigarette- thanks for the help. i had wondered if that is how they did it. not having looked at a roll of it, i was unsure as to how the wave pattern ran compared to the roll.

carter31- the flooring can be purchase through Lonseal if you go through a marine manufacturing company. unfortunately, they do not sell directly to consumers. your local marina may be able to purchase is for you. you can obtain it from Cigarette, but i'm sure you will be paying quite a bit more.

I put it in my Nordic last spring. Cigarette is right, make sure to use the two part epoxy from lonseal so it doesnt bleed through.

RTN, nice job there.. looks good!

rtn137- looks great!! what type of preparation did you do to the orignal floor before you applied the epoxy?

jbk,

Nordic uses a wood floor with the carpet glued down.
Pulled up the carpet, the easy part, then scraped and sanded until flat. resealed a little with some resin and sanded a little more. I didn't worry to much about sealing, I figured the epoxy spread all over would do that. Its not super critical but the Lonseal isn't very thick so bumps and waves will show.

Also they make the white wave pattern with UV protection and without, so make sure to get the UV protected type.

My partner can get this for you also he is in the flooring business. If you go through a marina ou will pay alot more for the lonseal. I am having him order some for my boat.

I am amazed that Nordic doesn't have a composite liner in the floor. That wood will eventually be rotten. BH
