Boat floor

[AZZA]

Hi Gents, I'am toying with the idea of changing floor covering in the Tinny as the carpet although nice under foot with great grip is a right b ach to keep clean .I'am after something that wont get too hot or slippry and is easy to clean.Any suggestions welcomed.

shortnd version!

im going with the black/grey wash low profile marine carpet from bias boating w/house!

$40 pmtr x 2.5mtr

new carpet allows sand and dirt to escape easyer because of the pile standing straight up!

old holds it in!

hope it works this time?

Will have a look at that thanks, the carpet in there at the moment is sort of interwoven and matted like steel wool traps everything .Also going to look at raising the floor at the stern and fitting scuppers to make floor self draining so I can hose out and if I take one over the front :ohmy: it can clear out quickly.

very good idea!

if ya do go through with it? can ya post a few pics in a thread showing before and after shotts ? i would be very interested in seeing the finished product?

im replacing my carpet and part of the faulse floor in jan and will be doing a \"how to\" thread on it!

cheers Ian.

Have u seen those rubber flooring mats with the holes in em? They'd probly get hot but would be quite easy to clean.

any thing easy to clean is probably going to be slippery rubber mats are horribly dear and horribly heavy i buy marine carpet from just carpets its slightly cheaper than bias and when it goes to the shit i replace it other than that i vacuum and hang on the fence for the rain to wash that way im not using water id rather have a shower than clean the friggin carpet:laugh:

The floor of the bullet is painted with paver paint. Non slip, light gray. Gets slightly warm, but not enough to burn. Real easy to keep clean. Just slop a bucket of water over it.
