Redoing Cabin Flooring

[geoffm70]

I'm redoing the galley floor, carpet was so gross.

What type of flooring are you installing?

[geoffm70]

Got a couple rolls of fake teak foam flooring. Tricky cut as the galley goes wider then smaller. Got 2 because I fully anticipate screwing up.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out

So am I. Trying to figure out how best to template and cut right now before I go and possibly make a mess of it this afternoon.

Use cardboard or craft paper to make the template.

Thankfully this stuff is fairly cheap. In person it looks and feels better. Begining to think carpet might be better. Old carpet and not finished replacement foam flooring pics.

Thanks Mike, doing that today for the odd cuts on the sides and end down to mid-cabin.

Maybe carpet for the inside of the cabin and the EVA foam for outside? I used this foam in my previous boat for outside flooring. Kept up pretty good for the price. I ordered it straight from china. For templating I used the old carpet and placed it over the Eva foam.

For the price, I thought EVA Foam would be worth a shot to see if its a good replacement for the carpet that would never get clean and always got really dirty, really fast. I thought it was original carpet until I pulled it up. The strip I laid down, and if the rest were done right, it would look good, but feels super hard to walk on.
