Change flooring on Crestliner?

[BornThisWay]

Has anyone changed the boat's flooring? I'm trying to figure it out on how to do it myself and where can i find a good flooring? Is it an easy and simple task or not? I have a Crestliner 1750 super hawk.

It's doable if you got patience. You'll need marine grade plywood, epoxy resin and a fiberglass top for durability. If you're handy with a circular saw and a drill, you can knock it out over a weekend. What type of flooring are you considering?

I havent, but i know you can. Most go with marine plywood and carpet or vinyl, or you can get EVA foam or snap in mats if you want something quicker and low maintenance. Its not that hard if you've got basic tools and some patience, just take your time and follow a good guide, best if you got a buddy to do with too

Honestly not sure about the flooring and I'm second guessing my decision to do diy. Patience means free time and that that's not a luxury I have at the moment. How loun do you think it would take roughly?

A full weekend is a realistic timeline but it means 2 long days of work without much of a break. The demolition can be slow and properly sealing the new wood takes time because the epoxy needs to cure between coats.

I'm just as curious! Are the panels riveted or screwed in? I'm from Canada, wondering where can I source good marine flooring here

If you're near Alberta, MillHouse Carpet in Calgary or Flooring Superstores in Red Deer County carry marine-grade options. For EVA foam or faux teak sheets, Amazon has a few decent listings. You might wanna check if your panels are riveted before buying anything. Rivets add a few extra steps to removal. Have you had a chance to peek under the deck yet? @Otherwise_Isopod_50
