Poseidon Flooring

[majestic]

I just talked with Paul @ Poseidon and he is going to call Tige to make sure he has the correct dimensions/template. The 08 RZ2 floor looks very similiar to the Plantinum addition picture that is on their website. The only difference is I have a round pedistal style chair mount where the newer RZ2s have a squared off fiberglass base. PM me if you want the quote he gave me with a painted tige logo. It was a lot less then what I was expecting.
This is a go for me if the fiberglass below the carpet is not damaged. I can get the adhesvie off just hope it is white fiberglass underneath.

Curious to see how this works out for you. I hope getting the carpet and glue off works better for you than it did for me on the piece I removed for my amp rack.

Im considering tearing my stained up nasty old carpet out and recoating with Ultra Tuff Marine. Easy application, and I end up with a nice, soft to the footsies, pressure washable coating.
It's what I used on the houseboat deck.

I saw reference on another review site to "about $30 a linear foot". So that looks to be the standard retail price. The dealer map shows sources all over the country.

I presume the Poseidon flooring from the factory does not have snaps or the like. I wonder how it does towing with no cover?

There are no snaps. I towed 60 miles with the cover off at 65-70mph on Friday and there were no ill effects.

Excellent.

Now I just have to wait for Booms to rip his carpet up and see how much of a mess it is

Wait for me. I was hoping to see what you found!

The only hiccup I see is the rear seat is screwed in by a piece of carpet covered plastic. See picture. It is similair to the what you see below and next to the port side speaker.

The walk through/bow carpet currently has snaps in it. I might keep the snaps in it just for added security or I remove them and seal the holes.

I will start this project on June 15th and will post pictures on my findings.

I also added the picture from the Poseidon website of the Platinum sample. It looks vary similar to what I am looking for.

I wondered if the piece that comes up to access the fuel tank, etc.., would be different than the rest of the floor.

Can't wait to see what you come up with. My wife managed to take on a bunch of water and the boat and garage stink.

I am starting to think that if the fuel tank access panel is a different material who cares. No one will see it. The Poseidon carpet will be in 99% of the time and I will be the only one that knows what is under it.
I think I will keep the carpet around that access panel to make sure it does not squeak or rub.
Other than that I think I am going to remove it.

This is one project I am excited to start. I hate that the carpet stinks all the time.

I know that it is not fiberglass I was wondering more about the removal of the carpet from it. Like you said it will be covered so who cares what it looks like.

You will have to take some pictures of your project to show us.

Keep in mind you'll want the surface to be smooth under the Poseidon: it is quite "squishy" so you can really feel any imperfections on your feet

We had a penny under ours and i noticed it right away

I'll be interested to see what happens with this project. I think you will find that getting all of the glue off is going to be quite a chore.

You will get to enjoy yours weeks earlier

I was thinking of leaving the carpet over the hatch for the same reason.

I am REALLY looking forward to your project

pull the carpet up.. Go buy a block of dry ice move it around on floor and use nice scrapper to remove glue should be really easy once frozen. Then sand your surface with a nice 220 grit DA sander. vaccum the mess. get some tac cloths and wipe area clean. THen but a nice layer of gel coat down. Then your gravy all super easy

Wicked always has such a distorted view of "gravy" as compared to us mere mortals ...
