I have real teak and holy inside my boat. Not sure the synthetix would look good inside.

THe exterior product would not, that's why I am trying to get info on the nu-teak interior product. The man who measured my boat had small samples and they looked very much like varnished teak and holly. He did not leave them with me.

As I recall, it was similar to ordinary flooring strips, with the holly already applied.

Ron-

One of my fellow Meridian owners installed Amtico inside on his boat. The product looks nice. Here is a thread from the MYO site:

TT Marine will be my first call, hopefully they will come to my area.Thanks for all the info and pictures!
 
Not sure where your located but to make it worth their while we got 4 boats.
Then later they got like another 5.
 
CurrentSea-We are in So. MD. they have a location in MD, will have to mapquest to see how far away they are. I have a feeling we are going to be "first" in our marina, but think if they are willing to come to us, they may get more business if our boat ends up looking anything like the ones in the pictures!
 
Neal,
Do you know the color code or Amtico name your fellow Meridian owner used? The Amtico website isn't clear on their marine flooring options.

Thanks,
--Rick
 
UPDATE:

I got an e-mail from the Nu Teak main office appologizing for my problems with the local distributor. Also, I have a package on it's way from Nu Teak which I assume is a sample.

The price for the material is $11.00 per square foot plush shipping and adhesive.

The sample should arrive Friday.

And, for anyone considering a flooring (strip) project, Skil has a neat flooring saw for $160.00. I found a factory refurbushed one on ebay for $90 and free shipping.

I had the same problem on their website. I couldn't really get anywhere.

Is this flooring individual strips, laminated plywood or flexible rolls?
 
I have been looking at the plasdeck/teak myself. I ordered a sample which cost 5.00. They sent me five different samples a how to manual and literature. As I understand they will make up a mat you can install yourself. I was thinking to use the carpet I have down on the back deck and use that as a template. They are based in Akron and I am in Cleveland so I might make a trip to see their products. They also make alot of other products that aren't boat related. Go check out their site.

WWW.plasdeck.com
 
Another pic, notice how all lines line up!
$11 a foot sound too cheap.
Most DIY jobs look like crap as there is a learning process in putting this stuff down.
Most you see the glue oozing out from under the mat and it does not come off easily!

This won't be my first time working with tools or laying a floor. I've been around the block a time or two. ;)

Engineereed flooring from the home center is around $5.00 per square foot.

I saw a sample before. It looked pretty good. I'll have one in my hands Friday.

Rwidman-"I hate to be picky, because overall the job looks great, but one of the rules to installing flooring is to stager the joints. In this section, every other joint lines up and it's pretty obvious."

I'd have to agree. Sadly that layout gives the impression the installer of that nice flooring was a lot more focused on minimizing waste,expense and effort than maximizing visual appeal.
 
Nice looking deck CurrentSea . Your slip looks very tight and your neighbor’s boat seems to be touching yours.
 
Slip is very tight, I have 14' usable and my beam is 13', so I get 6" on each side.
Neighbors boat is a big old carver express and he can't hit me.
He has more play in his slip than I do and pic must of been when he was swung over more to my side.

Thanks.

Rick & Ron, below is the info my fellow Meridian owner sent me regarding his installation of the Amtico flooring on his Meridian. I agree with Ron's post that was made concerning the point that the joints should be staggered. I think in this case the project was being managed to minimize the waste of material

"Neal-
The teak floor is in individual strips. It comes in 2 sizes; 2 1/2 inches wide or 3 inches wide. The thin Holly strip in between the teak is about 1/4 of an inch wide. It also is in strips.I checked the box of Amtico flooring. All it says is "Wood Tick Teak". The floor is Teak with the light Holly strip. I am sure if
your friend calls Amtico they will be able to walk him through the process. Feel free to give your friend my number if they would like
to discuss any aspect of the putting in the new floor. Take care, Keith"

Rick & Ron- Here is US contact info for Amtico:

Our sales team are happy to discuss your project requirements with you. To contact your local Amtico International sales representative please call our Customer Service hotline 800-268-4260.
