Those rebonded rubber mat's, at least in 1/2" weigh a ton. They are extra tough though but being black they would absorb a lot of heat. I use that stuff on the floor of my work van. Easy on the knees and they absorb/mute a lot of road noise.<br /><br />I really think we are all ****ting in the wind here. The author of this post hasn't bothered to check back or acknowledge, in 4 days, our heartfelt ideas.
Mark, you remind me of my wife. She always says " when ya gonna turn on the windshield wipers"? I always tell her to quit staring at the spots and you won't even see them.
<br /><br />I'm afeerd that I'll be livin with that imperfection. My object here was to make things sound and durable. If it didn't fall into one of those catagories it is going to have to wait for another day.<br /><br />Of course, I always strove to make whatever improvements I did as pretty as possible while making it strong and durable. <br />Over here in europe we dont use carpets in open boats. On boatshows here you can always tell if its an american boat by looking at the interior. Dont you ever go fishing and does it never rain over there...
Roy, I am a dyed in the wool Yankee and I could never understand carpet in a boat either. It's kinda like water and fire. IMHO they are direct opposites.Originally posted by RoyH:<br /> You Americans and your carpets...
<br /><br />They hold sand and water, cause your floor to rot and you can't get the fish guts and seaweed out of it. <br /><br />A lot (too many) American boats are dock queens. They sit tied to the dock all season and function as a cottage for the owners who use it to socialize on the weekends - carpeting makes it more civilized
