'97 Tracker restoration (carpet to vinyl)
« on: Oct 30, 2011, 06:00 AM »
My ol' boat was lookin' pretty rough:


So I showed her some love and made her pretty again:














I used the Nautolex marine vinyl and I'm really lovin' this stuff. It's easy to clean, it sheds water instead of absorbing it and promoting mildew growth, it's non-slip, and it looks good.

This is the best price I could find online for it and they have great service too.

Nice job!  It looks awesome!!  My Lowe came with that vinyl flooring...it's great stuff.  It is a little hot on the bottom of bare feet on a scorching day.  But def easy to clean.  Just check those screws every so often, they will work themselves out.  I had a couple pop out on me this summer.

I used 1/4" diameter by 1" long blind rivets instead of screws.

outstanding!!  My 92' Lund is overdue for an overhaul, and I can only hope it comes out looking half as good as your project did.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

It just needs some fish slime on it now to make it complete... and if my fuel pump parts ever come in, the Crappie, Bass, and Catfish better look out! ;)
