Having been all over the Hunter site I can't find info on ordering replacement sole for my H26.
Does someone have any ordering info? Thanks in advance.

New Sole

We are in the process of replacing the sole on our H-260. Larry - Hunter used to sell replacement floors for our boats ... but no more. Neither does Hunter Owners.com. What we did was order a 4x8 sheet of 1/4 marine plywood with a Teak & Holley overlay. We ordered it from Maritime Wood Products in Florida. http://maritimewoodproducts.com/

It's not cheap (especially the shipping) ... but we're optimistic that it will do the job. I'll post some photos when I get it installed.

I also strongly recommend the use of a canvas companion way cover (available from this site) to prevent recurring damage to the sole. The previous owner of mine had not used one and the sole was beginning to delaminate near the engine cover. I was able to dry it out and refinish it with spar varnish, but others are not so lucky. The cover was the best money I have spent on my H270 to date.

LARRY;

To defray the cost of shipping, try to see if any marinas nearby have that composite flooring in stock. Then I would make a paper template allowing a 1/4 gap between the edge of the floor and the side of fiberglass. Make sure you get all the old wood and glue off. Use liquid nails to adhere the new floor down but before you do, trowel it out all over. and then put the new floor down compressing it in. put a blanket over the floor and put weights down and let dry for 24 hours and I mean 24 hours. Then use black silicon architechual grade and seal the edge of the floor to the rest of the floor so water cannot get underneath the composite flooring
