I did my express cruiser back in 2020 still holding up great only 2 suggestions 1 always round your corners 2 before your final lay down & adhesion give it a spray of 3M heavy duty spray adhesive. Looks great mate!
great job mate. I'm doing my second boat shortly. I use Silkaflex 591 black, around all the seems, just for good measure, that water can not get underneath and start lifting the stickiness. Bit of extrawork though having to mask up the edges and then mask the floor. 3 or 4mm , Then when you peel off leaves a lovely finish.
Nice job. Just got a sea fox boat and looking to do this . Thinking of doing seating in the cuddy as well . Also they have a diamond pattern maybe for the dash.
Nice job. I think that looks great. An alternative installation approach could be to find the midline of the boat and place a panel there and then template out to starboard and port to complete. You might have an easier time of aligning the black lines that way? Let is know how it holds up.
Thank you for not glossing over the stenciling and measuring part. Too many videos speed through it and it's the most important part, good to see the actual speed of some of the difficult portions of boat. Came out great nice work. My only question is what about the screws you took out, wouldnt you want to seal them with something in case water seeps through?
If you give the boat a real good clean it will stick.I used degreaser and acetone to clean mine but mine is fibre glass. Just check on a small area on your boat just in case the acetone reacts.
The rolls were only 500mm wide so it would have made it difficult as the carpet was one large piece.Also, I wanted it to be a more accurate fit than the carpet was.
I installed budget EVA. It lasted 2 years and started to lift up with glue failure. HUGE mistake. It has left a brown film that won't even pressure wash off at 3200 psi! Goo gone takes off the glue but leaves a brown stain. Ruined my non skid. Haven't found a solution yet and have tried several products
Can’t believe y’all put carpet on offshore boats. The blood would be a nightmare. Not to mention all the damned snaps. Plan on putting the exact same foam on my twin vee. How has it held up thus far? You did a hell of a job.
i install my brown and im not happy at all everytime when gets wet is a mess of paint from the eva foam look like brown dust when is dry everyting you bring aboard gets stain from it
@@Eltsinoz I understand that you say that it already has it but that’s not a reality. What kind of stain resistant in water resistant treatment would you use to make it? Let’s say more water and stain resistant? Because reality is that stains do occur often.
Still looking good . None of it is coming unstuck. There is the odd mark on it but would put that down to wear and tear. I would say it was a success. I think good preparation is the key and wash it down after any fishing baits or blood etc get on it . Will maybe do another short video soon. Thanks for the comment.
Won't last. I fish almost every day and my boat is under cover when not used and this stuff only lasts 2 maybe 3 years in Florida. It's disintegrating away.

I have a 87 Grady White, and want to do this flooring also thanks for showing the process.

Seems to be ok so far. 👍
Great job you've just made there, I now feel it's going on my boat many thanks
Your welcome.Thanks for watching
Is it still holding up in your boat ? I’m planning to put it in my boat….
Nice job mate just preparing my floor now i went the same flooring but dark grey 👍👍 thanks for sharing
@@chevyda8070 remember mate,good preparation is a must.

Definitely worth doing mate
Looks great! I like how you rounded all the corners
Thanks for watching

Thankyou.
Aguanta bien el paso del tiempo? Es facil retirarlo luego para poner otro nuevo? Un saludo
Looks real good. I will be doing this shortly and this was informative.
Thanks for watching.

My only question is what about the screws you took out, wouldnt you want to seal them with something in case water seeps through?
@@Murfdigidy the screws were just for studs that held down the old carpet. Just dabbed some silicone on them
what is the material the boat deck is made out of? plastic? my boat deck is plastic and Im trying to figure out if this stuff will stick to it or not
If you give the boat a real good clean it will stick.I used degreaser and acetone to clean mine but mine is fibre glass. Just check on a small area on your boat just in case the acetone reacts.
Hey mate thanks for the video - I’m about to do the same to my boat - gonna get the eBay Eva deck , would you still recommend? Cheers 👍🏽
Nice looking job mate, just wondering how its standing up to the test of time. I'm considering going the same way when I re do my floor
@@onehellofafisherman9629 still doing great.Will do an update soon.Thanks for watching
Thought you might have removed the chair bases to make it a bit easier,
Was worried about weakening the fixings but would have made it a bit easier….thanks for watching.
Saved yourself thousands and looks mint
Just wondering where did you buy the plastic roll thanks
@@hanshahn3145 got it from Bunnings hardware store.
Well done! Looks great!
Is that just a plastic drop cloth for paint that you’re using for template?
Slightly thicker than a drop cloth.Just bought a roll from local hardware store.
Is this stuff waterproof does it let the water lay under it.
Yes it’s waterproof and doesn’t hold water.
Can’t u use the carpet for the pattern?
The rolls were only 500mm wide so it would have made it difficult as the carpet was one large piece.Also, I wanted it to be a more accurate fit than the carpet was.
Looks great, I like it!
Thankyou

Still looking good after a year.Definitely worth doing.
Looks great man!
i install my brown and im not happy at all everytime when gets wet is a mess of paint from the eva foam look like brown dust when is dry everyting you bring aboard gets stain from it
Not sure what foam you used but I’m not having this problem
What is it like now? Stained up
@@tanekoroi2568 no still pretty clean.Short to follow.
That’s good I’m contemplating this or carpet which do you think Is better overall? Durability, looks, comfort, cleaning?
@@tanekoroi2568 I removed carpet as is smelt and had a lot of crap gathering under it.EVA is so much better
What do you use to make it resistant or proofing to water and stain?
It’s already water and stain resistant.

@@FrankTitus-v7o There is a few products you can use if you google it. Haven’t used any so couldn’t comment on how good they are.
Hard to believe this was your first one! Great job, your well skilled! How’s it holding up?
Seems to be doing well so far.
Whats the name if the company you purchased from?

If it lasts that long I would be very happy.I still have the templates so I will just replace it. Thanks for watching.
That’s a good time frame for only 260 of material ..
EVA is not worth everything
