Challenger 21 superboat Fiberglass interior floor?...

[pdr1966]

I am purchasing a Canadian made challenger 21'.
just went over it today with surveyor, structurally sound.
i will be ditching the existing carpet immediately.
i have seen some pictures of Long Island area Challengers which appear to have a gelcoat/Fiberglass floor.
does anyone know where I could purchase such an item?

Raybo Marine Fiberglass has probably re-done a dozen real Challengers over the years. You might do a search on Rob's posts or PM him.

its labor and materials.
There is no kit to drop a floor into your boat.
Rip the carpet up and survey the situation.
Will have to grind it all down, add glass if needed ( most likely WILL need some glass ) and then the fun part- fairing it smooth and refinishing it.
You can get pirelli type flooring which is basically a rubber mat material. Comes in limited colors.
You can also get a sea dek material which is similar to the foot pads of jet skis.

I ripped up the carpet when I re-did the tank a few years ago
ground the floor with some 36 grit, laid some glass tape on some spots and rolled down some epoxy paint with sand in it
found this light weight foam matting for $10 a roll ( so I bought 4 )
couple of strips of Velcro and it's good to go
the Beauty of this is if it and when it gets wet I just rip it out and let it dry out
