Will do. I have used it before. It held up good, I had it in a skiff for 3 seasons. I did keep it covered when I wasn't using it though.

I did mine last week with this mat from amazon.com. Saw some in harbor freight but the roll wasn't as big.

Go to amazon.com and type in anti fatigue roll up grip mat. Get the bigger one.

what'd you put under it in the floor or is it thick enough you don't need anything else?

It glued directly to the aluminum floor. The foam is about 1/4" thick. It's all you need.

What size are the sheets?... Would like to have some cut to fit mine when I go jugging to keep the carpet halfway decent.

About 3lbs a roll. Its very light. It has to be glued down. I prefer the real Hydroturf to this because the real stuff is a harder(tougher) compostition, however, the real HT is $100/ sheet. I am getting a divorce at the moment, so I couldn't justify paying $300 for flooring, when I di my boat for about $80 with glue included

Just did it in my G3 1860 last week. I've had the flooring for about 6 months, but finally got around to do it now that it's warmed up enough to do it. It turned out so good you'd think I knew what I was doing (though not to say I didn't mess up once in the install).

I measured and laid out the floor after cutting it out to make sure it lined up.


Here's after I put the glue down and didn't line it up right thinking I could adjust it a little before the glue stuck...I was wrong. When using Weldwood contact cement, you put it on the boat, and the floor, and let it dry for 10 mins before laying down the floor. Note that AS SOON as it touches each other, it's stuck for good (unless you want to tear it off in tiny pieces).


Here it is done. Sorry for no detailed pics:

http://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9945838/00826

This is where I got an extra roll after I fubar'd the front deck install. It's on sale too for $16 right now per roll. They have free shipping when you spend $50 or $75, I can't remember and have a 25% off sale for all their stuff right now via internet. I actually got it from Pepboys via Ebay since they have free shipping with $25 purchase. So it's up to you. My Sears didn't have any in stock.
