I was in a six pack 41' that also had what seemed to be thick rubber flooring. It was black in color and seemed like it was pretty thick. It was softer than the rubber flooring that they have in the free weight area at the gym.

It is listed on Marks site as marine grade rubber flooring.
COCKPIT

• Cockpit flooring: marine grade rubber

I'd called them up and see what it is and I'm sure they'd probably sell you some. 239-454-1114

Could be that stuff. The one I was in had a greenish blue tint, but that could have been something glued over what your talking about

Its gym mat. Not the type for the weight room but the type they use in the aerobics area for sit ups. Hustler had it in all their boats last year at Miami.

I stole the idea, bought two 1/2 inch aerobics mats from Dicks Sporing goods and glued them to the bottom (side by side) of my snap in carpet and used automotive emblem glue. Flipped it over and trimmed around the edge with a razor blade. Good to go.

For what its worth, use the emblem glue or do trials with your mat. 3M spray on wouldnt work, spray on silicone wouldnt work but automotive emblem adhesive worked really well.

Makes all the difference int he world after a day on the boat.

If you just want to use the padding with no carpet, they sell 10x10 sheets online.

Is that what hustler told you it was? Now that you mention it, it does have that feel to it.

When were you in an aerobics area or doing sit ups???

BTW Keith, good idea putting that mat on the back side of the carpet. I have a couple of carpets that need backing and that mat would certainly give it a nice feel. Is it an open or closed cell foam? I wouldn't want to use an open cell foam for obvious reasons...

It is the black 1/2 inch rolled up sit-up mat at any sporting goods store. I have gotten it wet several times - doesnt absorb water at all.
