Something to keep my mind off all the ice in my bilge. Have any of you put a new flooring or flooring covering in the boat. Have any of you used this product? LONWOOD Teak-Holly

I did it

I have a hunter 26.5. The old sole was teak-holly veneer over 3/8" plywood. I had to drive to Annapolis to get another sheet to cut a new floor. I did an Internet search and found only 3 or 4 suppliers on the east coast. I believe the flooring is available in your neck o' the woods.

You will be able to find real sheets of teak/holly floor in your area or many of the online companies will ship it to you for a reasonable cost.

I like the Faux stuff

In my Catalina 310 it is a Faux Teak/Holly sole. Looks no different but EASY EASY EASY to take care of. You will not have to refinsh it. Much like Pergo Hardwood floors in homes. It is a High Pressure Laminate according to Catalina. Hunter uses a similar material called flexiteak-see link

In the Process of Installing, Jay

I am putting a vinyl teak/holly with a gloss finish on my cabin sole. The materials are ordered. I have some wood damage from a water heater that leaked and a water tank that did the same, and some other damage caused by repair men. As much as I love the natural wood, at some point it gets beyond repairing. This stuff is great and will resist most of the abuse it will see. Defender seems to have the best pricing. I would suggest a professional flooring installer, however. Rick D.

Fake Flooring..

I too am looking at the Lonseal Flooring for my '78 Lancer 29..Defenders is the best place to get it (Defenders.com)..meaning least expensive.I looked at all the options from repainting the existing Fiberglass floor to laying wood but when you compare price,trouble for install and LONGEVITY the Lonseal excells easily. On a side note;this stuff is good enough that Catalina is putting it down in thier new boats..that kinda says alot for it in my opinion.
