Aqua Weave for cabin floor - Anybody install or use it?

Blueone - That color and pattern looks very nice. Really good contrast.

Are you using woven vinyl or foam? I see there are some velcro type installations vs snap.

No clue yet. Just starting to plan the project.

Edit: Actually after reading, I'm going with the woven vinyl.

I can’t say enough about ours. It’s held up for the last 6 years and looks as new as when I installed it. We’ve spilled on it, had some fish slime and blood along with occasional dirty shoes and it cleans right up. Infinity woven.

Day it was installed.

@Quint4: How did you do those covers on the steps (are they glued/snapped?). The factory plastic finish of the steps is slippery for dog paws, and material in the top picture looks like it has way better traction.

I made snap "flaps" that wrapped the edge and snapped on the bottom of the steps. I have also just added snap studs to the top of the steps.

Wait wait wait. Are you guys saying you installed Marine mat type material over carpet?

Yes, have done many interior "snap over" applications with great results.

Nice idea. So you did the project yourself? Level of difficulty?

Easy for a DIY guy with a snap tool. I use the existing snap studs already in the floor (assuming the boat had runners over the carpet). If I do not have the existing template, it is not that difficult to make a template with 6 mil plastic. Once I have the template in hand, I cut and bind the woven vinyl flooring with matching a Sunbrella edge treatment. I only use teflon lifetime thread. Most of the time the boat is remote to me and I ship the flooring to the owner (to install with their snap tool). If no snaps exist in the floor, I include some SS ⅜" snap studs to screw into the floor.
Here is another pic that I actually did remove the carpet before snapping in the flooring.

Good to know. Thanks
