Hi...Eric, I am in the process of installing wood floors on my 380 as we speak. It took me a while to do my homework so here is what I came up with. I have always tried to stick with the same vendors that Sea Ray uses because of their extensive testing on components that go into their boats. That being said, they have been pleased with Mirage engineered hardwood flooring on the sport yachts and yachts. The stuff is not cheap, I found it from 6.99 - 7.99 sq ft. You need about 140 sq ft to do the entire boat.
I used the Sierra Maple on my boat which is what they are using on the newer boats with contasting cherry interior. It really looks rich! Once again, Sea Ray has designers that really know how to coordinate colors and textures so I just copy them. So far, the aft cabin was done and I am amazed how it looks. I will post pics tomorrow.
Also, since you are in CT, I have a master mega yacht carpenter that is looking for work if you are interested in getting it done professionally. The guy came down a few times, made templates, and really putting a custom touch to the install. Looks like the boat came from factory with the floor. He is even going to built me new teak steps to replace those vinyl covered ones going into the cabin.
Let me know if I could be of assistance.
Hi... I’m also planning on putting wood flooring in my 2003 Sea Ray 380. You wrote that the flooring cost about $7.50/sq.ft. and about 140 sqft are needed. Do you have an idea as to what the cost of removing the existing carpet and installing the wood flooring would be? My boat is moored in Kenosha, WI so I need to find someone in the area that’s qualified to do this. Thanks for any tips or advice you could pass along. Have a great day.Eric, I am in the process of installing wood floors on my 380 as we speak. It took me a while to do my homework so here is what I came up with.
