Dave,

What brand did you use? Individual strips or sheet? Did you do it yourself or pay a pro?
 
Dave
What keeps the couch and table from moving around? Are they bolted down?

Another question:

How did you treat the hatch? From the photo, it appears that the opening is trimmed on three sides but not the remaining side.
 
((Dave,

I used NuTeak.
Yes, they are individual strips.
I did it my self.

((Dave

I have rubber pads under the couch legs and they have held it in position very well. 95% of my boating is in Puget Sound or the Inside Passage so waves rarly get above five feet. It I were out in the ocean then it would be bolted down or secured better in some way.

((How did you treat the hatch? From the photo, it appears that the opening is trimmed on three sides but not the remaining side))

Yes, all four sides of the hatch are treated equally with 1/4inch teak trim. It just the lighting that is making it hard to see.

There are a few more photos and of the demo. if you look under "Inside Passage"/more boat additions" if your interested

Thanks. I had a guy come from NuTeak (I saw them at the boat show) and measure the boat. I'm waiting for the quote. I'll ask about just the materials. This is something I should be able to do myself. I've built cabinets and furniture (from lumber and plywood, not knock down stuff).
 
Dave, that's a great looking job. Did they supply installation instructions, mastic, etc.? What was the approximate cost per square foot? Also, is it random lengths like standard wood flooring?
 
There are no steps leading into the boat. The salon, cockpit and swimstep are on the same level. My wife with bad knees really likes that.

The only instructions I got was on the can of mastic that came with it.

This product only came in three foot sections. I really wish it also would come in six fott sections. The floor really needs to be flat. I installed new 1/2 inch plywood on the old exsisting flooring. Sanded all seams and filled any seams, screw heads, voids etc. Before applying the "glue" insure that floor is clean and no garbage however small is on the floor. The slightest floor imperfection will show up through the teak. Don't ask how I know :-)

Following the instruction on the can, I rented a 100 LBS floor roller. Lots of fun getting that into the boat but it did insure that the Nuteak was well pressed onto the floor.

Cost wise i don't really remember but it wasn't cheap but this isn't a cheap product. It was about the same price as installing new marine grade carpet and having a marine carpet installer, well, install it.

This was my first flooring install and it came out pretty good so I'd have to say this is one of the easier boat projects I've done.

The local nu teak guy called me today. He hasn't finished the estimate but he was talking somewhere around $700 in materials for the inside. I can live with that. He was talking about an installer, but I should be able to do it myself and save some money. I'm waiting for the firm quote.

I just found out I need four new deep cycle batteries and a charger. It's a boat. B.O.A.T.
 
I have been on a few boats with MarineDeck, marketed here in the US by Marquipt as Marinedeck 2000. It looks and feels better than the NuTeak and Flexiteek decks I have seen, and does not get hot. It would be worth considering if you want the highest quality. You can do a search on "marinedeck" or call Marquipt.

I have real teak on my side decks and foredeck, lovely stuff, but it can get darn hot to walk on too.

Thinking of this for the boat. Any updates as to durability, heat retention etc.

It's been a few years since this thread so let's get the new info.
 
The Plasdeck product is superior to Flexiteek.
I had Plasdeck on old regal, loved it.
This Regal has Flexiteek.
It scratches easiers.
Turns darker.
Needs more cleaning.
Feels harder to the foot and hotter.
I would go with Plasdeck over Flexiteek if I was doing it again!
 
Sounds good. How was the install? Hard to template and do yourself or would you recommend having the company do it? Seems like very limited retailers in the area and they charge a real premium to have them do it.
 
Myself and two friends had Plasdeck done. Also had them make a shower mat for inside the shower.

STuff gets hot as mother in the sun. We out down a small mat its not a non issue.

It has exceeded my expectations . It does scratch but as it weathers the scratches fade. U can also lightly sand out the scratches.

I Highly recc
