INSTALL MARINE VINYL FLOORING | HOW TO 

Thanks I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

You should always pull all the old stuff off and clean the glue off and put the new on.. if you don’t have to take much off to pull the deck off and if the deck isn’t too big of a piece.. it shouldn’t be that hard.. let me know if you have any questions about anything.. thanks for watching the video.. sorry I just found your comment..

reece adams thanks I really appreciate you watching and commenting! Hope everything is going good for you right now during these weird times ..

Thanks bro I appreciate it! And the trolling motor flip makes sense especially on a boat your size.. I would even try it on mine but I can’t or my windshield wouldn’t open all the way.. glad you liked the video.. can’t wait to knock out the next project!

@@ReelLifeFisherman I'll see ya on a few weeks buddy.. off striper fishing for my bday! Don't work to hard today sir!

It’s been a few years. Still got the boat?

That’s awesome! Glad you liked the video hope it helps you out! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yeah I wasn’t a fan of the vinyl he got at all.. it didn’t have any backing material on it and didn’t want to stick down as well.. as far as I know it holding up . I haven’t heard anything from him in a long time. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!

The Piscatorian thanks man! it all depends where you get it.. but you order it by the foot just make sure the roll is wide enough.. and the 3m glues holds and sticks fast .. thanks for watching !

It does get kinda slippery when wet.. that is a drawback of vinyl.. thanks for watching!

Thanks! I appreciate it! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching.. and commenting..

And hopefully you have or will get a new boat soon and some of my other videos will help you in the future.. sorry i was 5 years late to the RU-vid thing.. lol thanks again and tight lines!

Awesome glad it helped! Thanks for watching and the great feedback I appreciate it!

Thanks.. it’s hard to pick music that goes with the work flow for these videos..

I do from time to time.. I try to do more of them when the weather is nice like the spring and fall.. but I’ve been thinking more and more about starting my own shop lately.. so maybe one day soon I just might..

Reel Life Fisherman you should I see your work online and it looks great!! All the shops I called to get a Fishfinder Installed are at least 2 -3 weeks minimum to months out

We use the 3m for small vinyl repairs at my shop.. what glue they send us from the tracker factory I’m not sure .. it’s in a pint with no markings.. but we pour it into the hvlp spray gun and it sprays just like the 3M.. but definitely get vinyl with backing.. I didn’t realize this vinyl had none.. the foam around the bow was to take up the room and any unevenness in the cut hidden buy the carpet.. it is not always necessary .. thanks for watching ..let me know if you have any questions.. and good luck with your project!

Thanks! Appreciate that! Yeah it can get nasty quick if you’re not careful.. thanks for watching

Thanks I appreciate it! Glad it helped.. let me know if you have any questions.. thanks for watching

Hey thanks! Yeah if your deck is bolted down you will have to do it that way.. depending on how much vinyl you’re doing.. I would say about 5 cans to start.. only need to spray the deck side with the glue.. and for his boat with the sides and seat box and stuff .. we ordered 30’ at the width of the roll.. better to have too much just in case there is a mistake.. or need it for repairs down the road.. we had plenty left over though.. thanks for watching.. and let me know if you have any questions anytime..

I wanna say about $300 for everything.. thanks for watching

Thanks glad you liked the video! I would only use marine grade plywood it’s all we use.. and it’s rated for the marine environment.. and you won’t have to epoxy anything.. it would be the right way to do it.. let me know if you have any questions.. the wood is more expensive.. but it’s always better to do it right the first time.. thanks for watching and commenting..

I wouldn’t use this same vinyl.. when my buddy ordered it I didn’t realize it didn’t have any backing material.. and it makes it hard to stick down.. they do have better stuff on amazon.. just make sure to get the stuff with backing..

Are you in the Sacramento area? If so absolutely we can work something out.. thanks for watching the channel and commenting I appreciate it!

Reel Life Fisherman I live in Davis. Was thinking of doing it after sturgeon season. Thinking sometime around dec-feb. I don’t have anywhere to do it. Do u have a shop. It isn’t as intricate as the job in your video. It’s mainly rectangle pieces. The ones up by the front are oval on one side. My boat is a commander with an inboard engine so 2 pcs have an inside corner.

I’m a full time tech at bass pro in rocklin and we have been so busy the last few years we don’t take a lot of these kind of projects in.. but I do side work at my house a lot to make some extra cash and make some videos from time to time for RU-vid.. I can do it in my driveway out of my garage.. later in the year when it’s not so hot would be perfect or next year before it gets hot perfect.. I try not to do so many jobs in the summer anyway..

Reel Life Fisherman right on. Let’s hook up later in the year I can come by so U can look at it and u can tell me what to order. Striper fishing is pretty good right now on the West Bank trolling btw. Deep diver. Been doing really good last couple of weeks.

Awesome man! Thanks! I should try and get out fishing! It’s been months since I had my boat out! Just got back from Oregon fishing vacation .. working on those videos now..

Shelley McCarthy funny you ask ! I will here very soon! I’m doing one in two weeks on this same boat for my friend.. but if you have any questions about it before I get the video up.. let me know.. thanks for watching

Eric Sierra thanks man I appreciate it! It can be a lot of work but worth it! You can find it on amazon for pretty cheap.. you buy it by the foot and the with of the roll itself.. loved this vinyl the only thing is the stuff I’m used to using at work had a felt backing.. thanks for watching let me know if you have any questions

@@ReelLifeFisherman Thanks I am on amazon now, so much crap to choose from lol

@@ericsierra7225 www.defender.com/ sells it by the yard so it works out much cheaper than amazon! That's where I plan to order from.

Thanks I appreciate that! I really hope they don’t I haven’t gone out in forever.. mostly my fault for being too busy before all this.. and I’ve been staying at home because that is what they have been saying to do.. but I’m about over that now! Lol..They have called me back in to work but no customers are allowed in the shop.. so I guess I’m glad I’m not at home all day anymore! thanks for watching the channel and hopefully things go back to normal! Sooner rather than later! Tight lines 🎣

Connected Fishing lol ! If you want to do that.. we can absolutely do that! Or if you’re not worried about the me working on it at your place we can do that too! They did call me back into the shop as of yesterday.. so I’m back to work again.. just no customers are allowed in the shop and the store is still closed..

Jason Oleson thanks! I really appreciate you watching the channel! They actually just called me back into the shop this week.. guess we’re essential now ! 🤣 lol hopefully everything can go back to some kind of normal soon! Hope you stay well through all this!

Definitely going to not used the fake Elmer’s glue. Going to go purchase a bunch of 3m spray adhesive. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah the glue we use from the factory is more like the 3M .. I would definitely use that.. I have a spot to fix on my buddies boat now it came up on the front deck.. and I will just be using the 3M .. I work at a boat shop and do vinyl and carpet jobs from time to time.. but we sublet a lot of the work out due to how time consuming it can be ! Thanks for watching and glad you found the video helpful..

Well you want to make sure you get marine grade plywood.. then it’s already treated and will withstand all the moisture much better. The vinyl will protect it some but it will still get moisture. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!

Nomad thanks I appreciate you watching and commenting! I really hope they get this under control soon.. and i hope it doesn’t get any worse.. they have had me comeback to work.. but no customers are allowed in the shop.. and the bass pro shops part is still closed.. we are just staying put at home and barely leave the house for supplies if absolutely necessary.. hope you stay safe and healthy! This has been one crazy year.. especially for you with the fires on top of everything! Hopefully they don’t put a full ban on fishing.. I have not been out in a long time! but it looks like they just might.. they have most boat ramps closed already..

Those are a good all around boats! I’d actually like to have one myself.. a friend of mine has one.. I had a super guide v16 sc before I bought my thunder jet and I wished I would have bought the laker instead.. they are the same hull pretty much.. well if have any questions about it don’t hesitate to ask.. thanks for watching

Awesome! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!

Scott Oleson thank you! All is good they just opened my shop back up .. but no customers are allowed in.. drop offs and pick ups only.. but at least I’m back at work.. hopefully they get this thing under control soon and we can go back to fishing and life as normal soon! It is sturgeon time! And time I start hitting the bay for halibut too! Thanks for watching and commenting.. I appreciate it! Tight lines 🎣

Never mind watched it till the end lol thank ya

Yeah I would just use that 3M 90 high strength spray glue.. thanks for watching

Catch & Cook 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sure I had some as snacks on lunch break.. thanks for watching

Thanks I appreciate it! It’s a awesome upgrade and update to older boats.. it is definitely a bigger job .. so it’s something a lot of shops don’t like to do.. or if so.. they will definitely charge you for it! Thanks for watching and commenting

Awesome! It turned out great! Absolutely you will have to let me know when your back in town!

@@ReelLifeFisherman Yeah man, due to the covid we canceled our May plans for Cali but we are going to shoot for August! Hopefully we can fish together then!

Just make sure to get vinyl with some backing it will stick and hold much better.. and use some good adhesive glue.. thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions..

@@ReelLifeFisherman Great video. In one of your comments you posted the link to the vinyl that you bought on Amazon. So in hindsight, you would have chosen a different vinyl with a felt backing? Thanks again.

Amazon. Thanks for watching

Hector M Dardon thanks man! I appreciate it.. and thanks for watching!

The guy ordered it on Amazon. But like I mentioned in the video make sure it has backing it helps it stick much better. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it! Glad the video was helpful.

Nautolex is a good Material and I imagine their adhesive is too.. with vinyl flooring just make sure it has the backing material.. it helps the glue stick and hold.. the vinyl in this video had none. Didn’t realize that when we picked it out on Amazon.. the thicker the vinyl the longer it will last.. but the harder it is too work with.. thanks for watching the video! Let me know if you have any questions ..

I am going to pick one from allvinylfabrics.com it has felt backing Ordered two samples, 34 mil and 80 mil to see what to go with. Planning to replace the plywood. Thinking of getting toughest sealer home depot or lowes has, and apply extra coats on the plywood. At the same time it has to be something that will work with adhesive. I have plain plywood, and laminated again st water rot plywood May be just using laminated is all I need. Lamination is on one side of the plywood though. Might still use sealer on the other side to stave off rotting. That lamination is quite thick, makes that plywood real heavy, that's where the minus is. My boat is Crestliner fish hawk, so the center piece of plywood fir sure is to be laminated that one piece rots the most The funny thing is... I am from Sacramento too! Lol

I would only use marine grade plywood.. it isn’t cheap but what wood is anymore! Lol that’s awesome! I’m sure we will run into each other sometime! I work in the shop at bass pro in rocklin! Stop in and say hi sometime!

Thank you I appreciate it! Thanks for watching the video!

Awesome! It’s worth the effort if you have the time! Thanks for watching! And let me know if you have any questions..

I might think about some diamond plate or possibly some seadek.. you could Bed liner spray the diamond plate also they have many different colors..if you didn’t want it shiny.. let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching the channel

I would recommend testing out a small section with the glue and see .. then 3m will most likely be better on the aluminum.. cutting circles is one thing wrapping them without the edge looking messy is hard.. just make a lot of relief cuts and cut off any over lapping ones in the back side .. thanks for watching and me know if you have any questions..

Mark Moore thanks! Glad you liked the video! It takes some time.. but it makes a huge difference!! Thanks for watching.. let me know if you have any questions..

He likes it still.. but in a bass boat it can be slippery so if it gets wet your footing isn’t that good.. also it’s not a cushion under your foot like carpet.. and can get hot in the sun.. personally on a bass boat I would stick with carpet honestly.. the only advantage of vinyl in a bass boat is it cleans easier and would last longer.. but not worth it in my opinion.. thanks for watching the channel.. and commenting.. let me know if you have any questions..

Thanks I appreciate it! Thanks for watching the channel glad you like it!

In a boat like mine I would definitely do something like that! Maybe not in this guys boat.. thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it..

All vinyl boats have exposed screws .. I wouldn’t hide them under the vinyl in case you have pull it up again for any reason.. you can use oval head screws and they sink in a bit and sit flush.. if you don’t like the pan heads.. thanks for watching let me know if you have any questions about it..

I believe he ordered the vinyl on Amazon. But I didn’t care for it. You need to be sure you get some with backing underneath so it will stick down much better. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Awesome thank you! I will have to check them out next time! Always looking for something better! Thanks for watching and commenting

It’s not necessary to spray both sides you just need a good layer on the boat decking and lay the vinyl down and smooth it out pressing down as you go.. thanks for watching

Thank you glad you liked the video! So they both have their advantages.. vinyl is easier to clean, stays looking new way longer.. but can be slippery when wet without the right footwear.. and feel much hotter to your barefoot.. not that you should be barefoot on a fishing boat really.. lol. Carpet makes compartment lids fit better and is softer to walk on etc.. it really depends on the style of boat and fishing you do.. some boats it’s better to do carpet on the front and rear decks and vinyl on the floor.. thanks again for watching!

Yeah it’s always nice when you’re putting everything back together! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! I ordered it on Amazon.. you want stuff the the felt backing . It will stick much better

Awesome glad it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting.. I appreciate it! Have any questions ask anytime!

Awesome glad you liked the video and found it helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting.. let me know if you have any questions

Thanks! So you can get it on amazon.. but like I’ve told other people in the comments.. make sure you get vinyl with backing material.. it helps stick and hold better then the vinyl with out it.. thanks for watching and commenting..

Johnny Andreasen thanks I appreciate it! Thanks for watching..

Yes definitely want to do it inside or in a cooler time of year.. and worth it to save money for sure.. thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks! I’m glad you like the video! I would imagine it would be fine to do on a glass boat also.. I have never done a glass boat floor.. some of the older ones had carpet on a plywood deck laid on stringers .. most glass boats I deal with are all glass .. or use snap in flooring.. if it’s glass under your carpet you can use acetone or paint stripper to loosen the glue and. Scrape it off.. I will try to re - use the same holes unless they are stripped out.. thanksfor watching .. let me know if you have any questions

Awesome! Glad the video was helpful! That’s why we make the videos so guys can see what they are in for beforehand. Then decide if it’s worth paying someone or doing it yourself! I’ll pass the kudos on to my brother in law who does my camera work and editing! Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!

Thanks glad you liked it! It’s not all that bad.. just takes time..

I use the 3m high strength 90 in the green can.. thanks for watching!

You can order it on amazon.. just search marine vinyl flooring.. make sure you get some with backing on the vinyl it will glue down better.. thanks for watching

Awesome! Glad it helps! Always good to save some money! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching! Got the vinyl on Amazon I’ll post the link.. put in how many feet you need as the quantity.. and get mite than you think you need.. I got 30’ and had more than enough.. but get it just in case you have mistakes .. or need repairs in the future.. let me know if you have any questions..

And don’t get that glue! Just use cans of 3m high strength

@@ReelLifeFisherman Got it thanks man! I figured 23 feet of carpet after doing all the measurements for my boat. I am going to redo the carpet on the side (what you didn't replace) and the floor (vinyl). Appreciate it!

Only thing I didn’t like about this vinyl is it didn’t have a felt backing.. so it’s easier to work with.. but harder to stick to glue

Awesome! It’s a lot of work but well worth it! I live in Citrus Heights area actually.. thanks for watching!

@@ReelLifeFisherman The oleanders at roadside are so Sacramento. I’m in Rancho Cordova now. Great videos bro! Tight lines to ya.

You can order it in amazon.. just make sure you get some with backing material.. it helps the glue hold it better.. the stuff my buddy ordered didn’t have that .. I didn’t realize that when we picked it out.. thanks for watching..

Thanks I appreciate it! Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks glad you liked the video.. music is hard to pick to please everyone and flow with the pace of the video.. and not put people to sleep.. but I’ve heard about the music on this video before.. I appreciate the feedback without being rude about it.. and I’m figuring out things as I go.. thanks for watching and hope you like the channel .. let me know if you have any questions ..

You can get it on amazon but I would make sure to buy the vinyl with backing material on it.. this is a tan and white color pattern..

Thanks for your input. But the guy didn’t want carpet.. I’m not against carpet at all. but it’s more for bass fishing boats than how this guy and most real fishermen use their boats. Hard to clean blood and guts and slime out of carpet. But hey thanks for commenting!

I believe it was about 28’ so you can make all the cuts for each piece.. and some left over for mess ups .. just in case! Thanks for watching

These jobs take some time.. and I work full time at a boat shop.. they don’t really even do major flooring jobs anymore due to the time involved.. there are some local guys that do the work but I’m told they are expensive.. I wish I had the time to do more work like this.. but unfortunately I don’t ..and winter is hard to do it outside.. thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions..

Thanks I appreciate it! No I didn’t see any mold or rot on his boat.. mold I would let dry out and clean.. rot the wood should be replaced. Thanks for watching!

You can find boat cover supports at bass pro shops or Amazon .. thanks for watching the video !

Thanks I appreciate it! Thanks for watching and commenting

The boat owner ordered this on Amazon . I’m not sure what brand it was.. but I do know you want to order some with backing material. It will stick down much better than this kind did .

Thank very much! Glad you like the channel glad it helps people out..
