    Looks like you've been overhauled by @diggin2day1 ! :)  Looks really nice!  Those easy upgrades sure make the boat look completely new!

    The steps and radar arch plates... yes. The table is not me, but I love it... actually gave me a few really good ideas!

    The table is nice for cocktails, but not for eating.  I picked up a rectangle shape table for the cockpit so we could eat up there.

    Looks great! What kind of flood did you install in the cabin? Was it a DIY or something you had professionally done? Would love to get the carpet out of my 04 342

    @McGarnicle the carpet is glued to the fiberglass.  It's a PIA to remove.  We installed LonSeal in ours.  It's all 1 piece so no seams.  The only up side to carpet is that it's not as cold on the feet.

    It’s  fake wood that you can get from any flooring place bendable and kind of feels like a plastic but when it’s down you can’t tell it’s not wood

    That looks great! I was looking at some flooring today with the Admiral. Some were planks that were bendable and I saw some thick sheet faux wood flooring. I was thinking the sheet flooring would be easier to put down, but might look terrible. How did you deal with the slopes and where the wood meets the vertical carpet?

    It’s the  bendable kind and you just glue it down,  it’s also easy to cut .    It is time-consuming though because I went slow and did one down at a time

    If you're talking about vinyl plank, I think I'd lean more toward Lonseal or a similar sheet type product.  It's sold in a 6 foot wide roll.  So there are no seams.
