Waterproof Flooring
 

The weather in Minnesota has been very unpredictable this summer. I've already been caught in the rain twice so far. I got tired of dealing with sopping wet cockpit carpet, so I went looking for something else. I got samples of Lonseal. But, that flooring is very hard and none of the colors matched the blue on my boat. I found this stuff called Deckadence from marineflooring.net. It's made from PVC and has a rubber backing which provides some nice cushion. I used the original carpet as a template and am very happy with the result. I still have to install the snaps, though. Bring it on rain!

how is it on bare feet?

It's not as nice as carpet, but the cushion helps.

Plum, the folding footrest on the passenger side, did you install that yourself ? Where did you get it ?

I believe that was an option from Sonic. I've seen the same footrest on others.

Nice find! I am not a carpet fan either.

What was the coin? Price per square foot?
Did you go direct or find a dealer?

I like it. I'd like to some ordering info as well, seems you have to order from a dealer?

It's sold on a 4' roll by the foot at about $30/ft. I went through my local dealer.

That looks like it'll be fun to vacumn out :eek:, I guess you'll just take it out and flush it with a hose. As far as the folding step for Maryland Steve, it's available thru Sonic and is made by Garlick (sp?). I added one to my Prowler and it was a great upgrade, the wife loved it! Steve

I was a fan of cockpit carpet in the past, but have the Lonseal in the Active Thunder and love it. There are lots of different patterns and colors to choose from but not many primary colors such as blue. I have floor drains in the cockpit so you could just hose it out, but I don't like getting my boat wet :drink:! I ordered the optional cockpit carpeting but doubt that I'll ever use it! Steve
