cabin floor problems

[khemberger]

The floor boards on my 2001 320 have been refinished a number of times
to the point that the veneer needs to be replaced. Does anyone know
where or who I would contact to have this work done? Thanks

You may want to consider going to one of the synthetic products. You can probably just have it installed over the top of the existing flooring and you should be good to go for many years.

If you check out the archives you can see Rick Dinon's H40.5 with the Loncoin flooring. There are several others on the market. Anyone that can do linoleum should be able to install it for you.

I am surprised that you have had to refinish your cabin sole so often. Do you get a lot of sand and dirt down below? What products have you used to finish it?

Thank- you so much for the information. The reason that the floor has been refinished
several times is that when I bought the boat three years ago, the floor was scratched
up pretty bad. Then, my daughter's dog spent the summer sailing with us and his claws
did a number on the floor. To make things worst, my bilge got water in it over the winter, and the pump failed, causing water stains to appear under the finish. Needless
to say, the thin veneer can only be sanded so much. Being very particular about my
boat, I can't deal with the floor not looking good. So, here I am looking for a solution.
Thanks, again, Steve !
