Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2016 12:05 pm Post subject: My new fauk teak floor and new Eisenglass! |
|
|
Guys, it's finally done....After 2 months of planning, waiting, planning again and then WAITING again my floor is finally done! LOL. The weather in February and March really held me back.
Anyway, here is a YouTube video I just took of my new floor and new Eisenglass windows. Please excuse the sound and video quality. I took it with my phone very quickly. It is Plasdeck and the color scheme is "Holly with white lines". The entire cockpit and cabin is floored. We stopped at the beginning of the fuel tanks because I'm gonna have a canvas piece made for that section and didn't wanna floor that area since it'll be hidden soon. I also decided to NOT floor the small area in the Vberth where the porta potty goes.
I also replaced the 3 canvas glass pieces. What a difference!!! Gosh, it's like night and day. I'm so glad I decided to do that modification as well.
I will post some new pics in my album also. I can't wait to hit the water! The weather looks amazing this weekend in Boston.

Looks fantastic.
Who is making the canvas to cover the area near the fuel tanks? I was thinking about doing the same thing. _________________ Robert

Here are a few screen shots for anyone who may not be able to access video. First a bit of the new canvas (cabin/cockpit "bulkhead"), and then a couple of the new sole covering. Really nice how they did the edge contours!
Funny thing but after I went to some trouble to get gelcoated fiberglass to make forward cover boards for the fuel tanks (when I went to the newer tanks that sit just behind the splashwell molding), I have decided that I really like the temporary canvas covers I made. They are so practical, and with a better-than-temporary level of craftsmanship would be really nice. I especially like being able to pull them aside while I fuel and watch how the fuel is hitting the fuel pool in the tank just below the fill - makes it so I can fill as fast as possible but avoid any "back splashing" (turbulence below the fill seems to cause it).

Great looking floor!!
So did you have a pattern and had the company cut out the actual pieces including the edging or is that something you did yourself? I ask only because I've looked at websites where you send a pattern in and they do the cutting. I would love to do the same thing on our floorboards.

Nice looking floor Jason! Does it insulate from the cold water very well? Post it here once you test it out. We have three layers of flooring to keep things cozy but it would be nice to do this with less bulk.

That is a terrific looking floor! The edging looks very professional. I looked at the website but didn't see very much information there. Could you provide more detail on the steps you took to measure, order and install? I'm not familiar with Plasdeck and I would like to know how you did it and get an idea of how much it costs. Does it come as a large sheet or or separate pieces that you glue down?
thanks

Very nice!
I've live about five miles from PlasTeak and they did the
removable cockpit floorboards in Valkyrie, an '05 22 Cruiser. That cost $600 about eight years ago.
PlasDeck is fantastic.....nonskid, easy to clean and comes with a lifetime warranty. Pics in our album. I have a piece of PlasTeak in our cabin, but kept it removable for easy cleaning on a dock.

I'm just gonna find a local canvas shop to do it. I'll start getting some quotes soon. |

Thanks everyone. Sorry for the late response.
First things first: I didn't tackle the flooring job myself. After doing lots of research and reading some DIY horror stories, I decided to have a small, local aftermarket marine installer do it for me. I read about some instances where when doing it yourself, if your template is "off" then it's a pain to get it to fit correctly and if it's really "off" then you'd have to send it back to the factory and wait another month or so to have them cut another one for you. I figured that since even the DIY job is expensive ($600-$800 at least) that I might as well spend a little more money and have a professional do it.
He came to my boat and did the template in late February. He didn't receive the custom piece until late March and then the weather was cold until recently. The floor is one piece and is approximately 1/4 inch thick; the adhesive that he laid is also about 1/4 inch but it dries to about 1/8 of an inch. He caulked the entire border with a white marine sealer and maintained a channel for water to flow just as before.
NOW, the big test is how will it perform?? There is a lifetime warranty and product is supposedly resistant to all of the normal marine foes. Lol. Like salt, mildew and obviously water...
I'll try and get some pictures up soon. |
