Vinyl Cabin Floor

raybo3 · July 2

I want to replace the carpet in my cabin with teak and holly vinyl flooring but not eva foam. I am having a very hard time finding it. Anyone do this? Where did you get the flooring? TIA

Plasteak is an expensive option.

I would recommend “luxury vinyl” planks.

Thanks @YYZRC is that "luxury vinyl" planks on the plasteak site?

No, LVP from Home Depot!

Here is my floor.

Oh man I think I like that better than the teak and holly. Now I have a decision to make. Thanks @YYZRC

It was only about $400 to do the whole cabin. Easier for me since I didn’t have carpet but I am really happy with the outcome.

I never did find any teak-and-holly vinyl plank. We used Home Depot stuff and glued it down. When we needed to tear up part of the floor for a repair, the glue came off without a fight.

In my case, I used double-sided tape around the perimeter. The planks lock together with a tongue and groove type system.

LVP is a very good product and I have seen it in many homes and some boats. Looks great and it's durable.

I used Nautikflor in my FV270…. There’s also Lonseal flooring

Did anyone have to rip up the rug? How much prep work was there to put down the vinyl floor?

I cut out the rug… was afraid of mold/mildew getting trapped under vinyl flooring. I used one of those oscillating multi-tools with a flat scraper blade to remove glue. Wasn’t fun but wasn’t horrible…. A few beers worth of your time.

I ripped up the carpet when i did my cabin. I just put down new carpet but it took me almost 5 days to get the old carpet up. It runs underneath of all the cabinets so i had to pull everything out. Then sit there with a heavy duty scraper and hammer to get the carpet up.

@davidbrooks really???? That sounds like a horror show. Now you got me second guessing myself. Hmmmmmm

Ours also goes under the cabinets and couch. I highly doubt I will go that far and remove all of that but you never know, maybe I'll be bored this winter.

Just get your expectations set. I would say of all the work i did to my 342 that was the most satisfying. Getting rid of the old carpet also helped get rid of the old boat smell. So i highly recommend it. Also recommend trying @diggin2day1 method using an oscillating tool. I didn't have one at the time. I swear by those things now.

I did mine in Lonseal. Looks great... Look it up.

Our 270 really needs the upgrade. I wish it never had the carpet. Around the helm I think here in Florida it would be to hot on the feet and be throwing down rugs- but i love the look.

Howdy, Stranger!
