Hi:
Hoping to get some feedback from fellow owners who have gone thru this:
I am removing the original carpet from the cabin and will be replacing with vinyl plank flooring, aluminum trim around the floor hatches and solid Ash wood companionway steps.
WTF did they use to glue the carpet down with!!?? what a pain in the ass....but slowly piece by piece it is coming up.
My question to you all is: If I take the time to scrape all of the residual glue off of the fiberglass floor, would it be level enough to lay the new vinyl planks onto or is a plywood subfloor recommended (and if so, what 3/8" or 1/2" ply?)
Cant complain too much I suppose when I look out my living room window at my boat in the evening....
