Cockpit Padding
 

Hello,

Does anyone use any padding under or on top of their cockpit carpet?

If so, what??

Thanks!

I put sea dek on the whole boat looks and feels awesome.

I know what you are asking about. I rode in Wicked Won (41 Saber) and fell in LOVE with the padded floor!

Theres info on OSO about padded floors somewhere......hopefully others will chime in!

I hope so too, I searched but was unable to find anything.

what is my post f'ing invisible or something WTF?

Lol, sorry. I did miss it. Looks sweet, how comfortable is it?

My 28 has a padding flooring under the carpet.
I don't know what it is, but it seems to 1/2-5/8 foam. It was put in at the time it was built.

I was on Lucy's Merc Special, now Chiro One, and it has a real thick padding but its only a 3man 41 Apache.

Hustler has done a couple boats like that too. I looked for the longest time for the stuff and couldn't find it anywhere. I think the best way to do it would be buy the standard perelli flooring and glue some anti fatigue mat to the back.

Contact Tonto on the board. He has some padding in his Apache that works great and is probably the same stuff Wicked One had.

It is very comfortable, everybody that comes on the boat loves it, and you can have it custom made for your boat in different styles, colors and thicknesses.

It is called closed cell foam, I had it in my 39 NorTech V. It was great. I think I had 1 1/2 thickness.

Yes, its closed cell. Just find a gym distributor and buy a roll of pilates mat. I put 5/8 under mine and used automotive emblem adhesive to glue it to the bottom of my custom carpet. Flip it and razor blade the excess. Done. Been under mine for 2-3 years.

LOL - Coincidentally, I got in a Hustler at the Miami boat show and couldn't get it out of my head.

You will seriously get off your boat after a day on the water and feel 10 times better. Its a BIG difference.

How did you get it so perfect? Is that a pre-made kit?

They come out and scan your boat with a $15,000 surveying machine that makes a perfect CAD file of the boat and then cut the pads on a CNC router. I had it done by a company called Castaways Customs. Its not cheap but it comes out awesome.

Probably helps that you`re in FloriDUHHH, all the marine stuff is down there .. looks amazing thou

He will come to you if the job is big enough

My buddy has it in his OL. Call the foam factory. Closed cell 1.5" cost him right around a hundred bucks. Cuts it to fit and lays the snap in carpet over it. It is soooo nice on a long run or pokerrun.
