I bought a cover from this online place, who happens to be located near me in Alabama. I have no idea where their covers actually come from. They have a good variety of sizes at good prices, and the quality is good; it's a heavy fabric with good elastic and a lot of attachment points. www.vortexdirect.com/ What they DON'T offer - and I wish they did - is a cover with integrated outboard cover. I think you have to pay some pretty big $$ to get that... |

Ooooh I like that Boatboy! You've got a retro Mad Men mid-century modern look going on there.

For my Clipper I used marine plywood and painted it glossy gray.

I like his weatherstripping friction fit idea ..... Australian or not, I'm mulling it all over. I like the gray painted floor idea with cool carpet for my bare feet and it visually disappears like Loco said. I'm feeling that vibe. Thinking it through. Might go a whitewash stain to give me a painted look that still shows that rustic woodgrain through. My brain is working it.

My slat panels drop right in and pull right out. They weigh maybe 15 lbs each. I would never drill a hole in a stringer..I had carpet in the 58 vagabond..It was great,,,but it holds water. As far as bare feet,,,I don't boat barefoot..I like traction and keeping my feet from fish hooks and the sun. If
you just need a floor,,go with the plywood.. You are still going to build the puzzle of locking it in using the existing stringers and ribs without using fasteners. Call it Tetris. ![]()

mine are friction fit.........i cut them an 1/8 shy for length between the seat decks, then applied 1/4 foam weather stripping on the leading edge, they fit and hold nice and snug........
i did the silica sand sprinkle on the second last coat as well for non slip.........

I have marine plywood with grey indoor/outdoor carpet in my boats, it feels great on bare feet in the hot sun, sort of just disappears to the eye and will last 10 to 15 years if you take it out when not in use. Mine are gravity fastened

Someone please interpret. ![]() Nevermind. I just figured it out. Yep! I would have to have a mesh liner as a catchall which would defeat the purpose of slats anyway. |
