[QUOTE="River Rider, post: 137377, member: 2087"] Well after having to wrestle this next step of this mod by myself I guess it went alright. Instead of Hydro turf, I tried to find something similar but more in my price range. Somehow I came across the idea of Yoga mats. These thin foam mats are 1/8" thick, do not absorb tons of water, and stay tacky so you don't slip. They did however add 10lbs to my boat, but that is no big concern. I just finished glueing them down last night with weldwood, which is why you don't want to do this yourself, that stuff doesn't mess around. I had everything cut out and dry fitted, but once I started trying to wrestle those sheets with a slight wind they didn't exactly line up perfectly so the seems show. That is where I might have to do some touching up. I am thinking of an aluminum strip to cover the seams, or just another sliver of the stuff glued on itself. I am not sure. But here are some updated photos. On a side note, don't rush your work. I have a tournament this weekend and I was wanting to have the flooring done and that may have had something to do with not waiting for help. [/QUOTE]
