Morneau132 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm putting a new floor in my boat this evening and need your help! I can't find marine carpet or marine linoleum..... I looked at Cabela's yesterday and they said I need to special order it through their catelogue. Does anyone know where I can find some TODAY!?!? P.S. The color doesn't matter to me and I don't need a large quantity.... Just for half of a 14' Fishing boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBass Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Try other marine shops like Crystal Marine or something like that. Just a thought - good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Otter Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have to believe Ratzlaff Marine or Mapleton Marine would be able to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BezD40 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Ratzlaff Marine will have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookey Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Years ago I purchased some from Alumacraft in Saint Peter and as I recall it was resonable. Not sure if they still do that kind of thing ? Let me know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneau132 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Fleet Farm had it!!!! It looks like pretty nice stuff. It is a heavier grade marine carpet (I believe 21 oz.) and it looks great! Bonus their treated plywood was on sale also!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruthWalleyes Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Awesome, i'm headed to Fleet at noon today!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwalleyee Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not sure about this one, but I've heard there is a big difference between regular treated plywood and marine plywood. I could be wrong here, so someone in the know let us know. Later, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookey Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Plywood panels rated as EXTERIOR but not Marine, such as A-B, A-A or C-C EXTERIOR, may contain any other permissible species and contain C-grade veneer. Unless specially improved, C-grade veneer is permitted to contain knots and knotholes up to approximately 1-1/2 inches across, and the inner plies may have core gaps up to 1-inch wide.Taken from a plywood mfg site. On the other hand the cheaper wood having more knots and core gaps is supposed to take on the poisonous waterproofing chemicals better. Sound like a choice between strength and water resistance is the tradeoff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib_jigged Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have heard that green treated wood will react with aluminum and cause corrosion. I think Marine grade is the only way to go, or standard with an epoxy coat on it may work well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine_man Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 With respect to plywood; do a search in this forum. There is a wealth of information on what plywood to use and where to get it from.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregg52 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 not sure bout this and the only reason i bring it up is cuz i thinks its great in my boat if you going to be puttin in a new floor rather than carpet or linilom what would it cost to spray the plywood woth a 1/4 in or so of fiberglass my boat has snap in carpet in it and i took it out went with out for awhile i'll never put it back in its the cats meow if you ask me mine will last forever of coarse and its so easy to clean and everything looks like new crawler dirt and bedding etc etc washes right out you know you hafta let your floor get some good sun when its carpeted and i'm not sure bout liniulim (let alone how to spell it lol) i guess i ve never saw a boat with that it or ever heard of that before there is a guy on 371 between brainerd and little falls that repairs fiberglass actually i think he does most of skeeters warrenty work just idea it might cost a fortune i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
