1.has anyone used starboard as the cockpit floor .
2.has anyone made dropin hatch covers (no hardware)?seems like it would give a clean look.
3.cence there will be no nitolex above or below it.will 3/4 starboard fit under trim?
4.does around 260$ for a 5/8 96 x54 sheet sound fair?
5.i have got a manual fuel gauge only i need an axcess or clear place to see it is between the flybridge ladder and engine hatch so we should not have to worry about tripping .any ideas?


just bought a 11 gal water heater would like to get it and enough new floor in to put the aft seat back in by mid april.(wood floor is still strong but looks bad and seat is out .so now is a good time ,and i could use the storage)


tim


p.s. spending my tax refund before they want it back

Yikes! You'd need two sheets to do the deck.

Starboard is terrific stuff, indeed. With what it will cost you, however, you could singlehandedly save the economy of the state of .. well, pick one, say California. There are other less expensive and equally elegant solutions. By the way, $260 for a large sheet of Starboard sounds quite cheap. I did a really quicky search and found it for $503. So, if you have latched onto that deal, maybe it is cheap by comparison.

If you have an express you will need more than two sheets as it takes roughly 4 sheets of plywood for a 28' express. As for the fuel guage you can router in a clear deck access cover here is a pic of mine. http://i40.tinypic.com/2s7z32w.jpg

Tim,

Have you checked the info/price on John Althouse's aluminum aft deck kit? May cost more but is supposed to be perfect fit with hatches, hinges, floor in one kit. Could save a lot on time and labor. I have not inquired but saw it on his site. From the pictures on his site, it looks nice.

Tim,

Ouch!!! So much for that idea. I just heard a loud thud come from somewhere up in Southeast PA.

In a better economy with a desire to keep a boat for the next 20 years, maybe. Glad I have a covered slip.

How is Starboard when wet? Slippery?

On my 26' Overnighter...

I hate to say I paid $330 per sheet for my Alu decking last year :-(
2 sheets of 3/16" for the cockpit.
2 more 1/8" for cockpit liners
and one last 12'x 1/16" sheet for the weather deck liners.

d'oh!

the weather deck Timber Tek cost $60.

Seaward makes a good heater. I've had them in some of my sailboats. That's what I would replace my Raritan when the time comes. Not only are the heaters cheaper to start with, the replacement parts for seaward are much less expensive.

If water is allowed down into the 3/4" thickness of the material and sealed on the beam I believe water will end up in the bilge. If the SS trim was let into each side of the seam to make it flush with the deck surface I believe you would have better luck with making it water tight because there would not be as much standing water on the sealing surface. I am dealing with a simliar challenge with my weather deck scuppers that, if mounted normally, will be 1/8" higher than the deck. So the scuppers will not start draining until my deck is covered with 1/8" of water, beer, or what ever.

I sympathize. On mine, the morons who replaced the deck left the scuppers a full 1/4 inch ABOVE the deck. I had a pond back there every time it rained. Was able to get them just above flush, though it's an it's ugly fix.

It goes without saying that, when I replace the deck, the scuppers will be BELOW the surface!

Will soon start to replace the aftdeck on the 28' Sportsman F.B , sq area is 8' x 12' received all
materials from Bill Gribble, PlasTeak Inc. Akron OH. 1-800-320-1841 WWW.PLASTEAK.com
Info@plasteak.com I will use Celtec 3/4" 4' x 8' sheets as base , reinforce alum- structure as
required. PD-653 Teak colour 3/16 x 6" with 3 off white stripes as an exterior deck. (The Teakcolour
was custom designed for SeaRay Boats for their use .) Will use T & H -1000 Teak & Holly for
cabin sole, aft deck & cabin sole will match very close in colour & will look as a continuation
between aft deck & cabin. Will recess the scuppers for good deck drainage. Hope it all works out.

John
