Looks good! How do you plan to deal with the carpeted baseboard when doing a solid surface floor?

Start a separate thread. I’m curious to see how you do this project, and the wife would love new floorsFor now I’m going to leave it. On my old boat I cut the floor tight enough that it tucked underneath the carpet and it looks well finished.
i’m going to use 6 mm vinyl so that I can deal with some imperfections in the floor and bend it up some of the angled parts

Page 8 = sling label (not shown)This might be in the manual but Can someone measure the “strap” decal location for me next time they’re at the boat?
mine are gone and I’d like to put them back on next year
My front sling marks are also gone. Not shown in manual. Can someone with a 1998 40 DA with diesels snap a pic of their location and post? Thanks.
Sea Ray used a cross between epoxy and gorilla snot to bed those nylon filled plastic fitting into the hull and they are very difficult to remove. A few owners at our marina (owned by the dealer) ordered stainless thru hulls and attempted to change them thinking that would just have a collar on the back side he could just unscrew.
When I had to leave town after his first weekend, he had changed only 3 in 2 full days and ended up sawing the fittings out of the hull with a hole saw Only to find out he was going to have to go up at least one size to cover the sawn hole…..I don't know how much cosmetic improvement he achieves by changing a white thru hull to a stainless 1-1/4" one. My wife who is quiet, unde-stated and usually boils things down to brass tacks very quickly offered. this: "You know I think the white fittings look a lot better now"!
Yes I’m my opinion it was worth it. I have three left to doI just looked up stainless thru-hull replacements for the plastic fittings as I thought it would be a nice looking upgrade….$500 worth of fittings. I know it’ll look nice, but that’s a bit steep for cosmetics. Anyone else done it?
@Mig22 did his on the 380 and looks awesome.

What was the process to remove, prep and install the new one? What worked and didn’t work? Thank you!This is all I have on hand
