Reflooring Gregor Boat

[Redders]

Hi - Have a 15' Welded Gregor Boat and am planning on redoing the flooring in the spring. Aside from the typical plywood and vinyl combination does anyone have any recommendations for different options - ie some kind of composite material or aluminum chequer plate for instance?
Thanks
Nick

Coosa board and kiwi grip works really really well and is by far the easiest to work with.

Thanks will look into that. Are people typically using 1/2" or 3/4" ?

1/2 inch works but have to have a little more flooring support. I think they can go 14 inches between joists with the heavy 1/2inch stuff.

Kiwi is awsome. Paint it right on. One step. Only thing I will say if your going gray with kiwi. Buy yourself some dye. Their Grey is pretty much just white

One thing you really consider on a boat that big is the weight of the floor material. I had the same boat and found the ride characteristics really changed as well as how it sat in the water based on the type of flooring/placement. I started with the heavy rubber mats and it was almost too much.

Thanks - hoping to find something that's pretty much the same weight as the existing.
