Anthony, looks AWSOME! I have '95 Carver 330 Mariner and want to do the same. It has same/similar layout, so how much vinyl plank flooring (boxes) did you have to order? Also, can you provide a materials list, w/model numbers, of the flooring materials (underlayment and glue) used? Did you use riser trim material on your steps and dinette riser or is that the way they are? Also, are there any post-job recommendations you can offer at this time? Thanks, Ed O. (Annapolis)
How is the floor holding up? I have a 1998 35 Mariner and I am going to be installing a laminate floor in a few weeks. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I sold the boat and have a 1998 glacier bay and about to do videos on that. But…… my recommendation is real hardwood. It will take more time but I think you will be happier that way. Some issues with laminate. If not interconnected 100 percent it will disconnect the joints over time. Plus fiberglass and wood subfloor require different adhesive. It will look great initially but I sold it less than a year after doing install. Remember water tank and cut out future access for that. Middle of salon. I loved the carver but didn’t suit my needs long term. I used it a lot and is a beee too handle when one engine goes out.
It looks awesome! I'm assuming you already had some portions that were "wood" flooring. If so, how easy was that to remove? Did you do all the cutting at the dock?
