The critical engine room stuff is mostly done now.
The next big project is to remove the stained, worn, nasty, NASTY carpet.
From what I've gleaned here on CSR, the best choice is Vinyl Plank.
Do you suggest click lock, glue down or loose (floating) lay ?
I've decided to use carpet for the curved sides
Now the steps, (ugh) I have many, MANY steps and a good deal of it is curved which complicates things.
About a dozen steps at:
I do understand the issues with carpet removal. Should not be too bad here as a PO already replaced the factory carpet once.
Will I have an uneven surface and have to do the bondo thing or add a subfloor? Won't know till I get the old carpet out.
I'm more concerned with choosing the best product (Allure seems to be highly regarded here on CSR)
What product/materials would best serve me in trimming out the steps, carpet edges and anything else?
What can I use that will BEND in trimming out all these stairs?
Want to get all the materials ordered NOW so I can have everything here and ready as i dive in and get it done.
Yes, I do have knee pads and Naproxen !
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
BEST !

Now the steps, (ugh) I have many, MANY steps and a good deal of it is curved which complicates things.
About a dozen steps at:
- both sides of the fwd berth
- step down to midcabin
- steps from cockpit to salon
