Thought I would chime in on the floor issue.
I had been thinking about replacing the carpet for the last 2 seasons.
So I started this past month.
Tore out the stairs that were carpeted and replaced the with Jatoba Hardwood.
Then I took out the carpet and about 1 million staples!
Installed the new stairs.
Need one more piece at top and at bottom to complete.
Four coats of a Waterbourne Traffic Master Satin Finish.
And put down about 1/2 of the floor last weekend and hope to finish it this weekend.
I used an engineered 5/16" Brazilian Cherry Wood, Tongue and Groove and Glued to the sub-floor.
My sump hatch was lower than the original floor also because of the carpet installation.
I made a new one out of 3/4" marine plywood and gave it 3 coats of porch and deck paint.
I am also going to use 'T' mouldings to finish it off.
Running out of time so I will remove carpet from side walls during the season and redo while in the water.
This is not the original carpet so it is in good enough shape to last this year.
Thanks to all the CSR members posts and PM's to help with this MAJOR modification.
