Well, I do not know if I am going to do this. Under the carpet the fiberglass is unfinished. I know that you would not see it with the posiedon on top but I think it would be a little sticky, rough and hard to clean. I think the carpet would come up easily. I started to pull up on a corner piece and it came up with very little resistance. I might get a price for a guy to put a finish gel coat on it first.

We have had our mat for about 1.5 months and we absolutely love it. The floor is never wet since it doesn't hold water and has never been hot (even in the Texas heat). We do have the bimini up though. You can occasionally feel a hinge under your feet but I would not hesitate to order one again.
I pulled up a bit of my carpet today and learned two things:
1) The surface under my carpet (except for the fuel tank hatch lid) appears to be raw fiberglass but without the exposed "chopper gun" fibers. It's got little pimply bumps on it. If it's like this across the entire surface I think I could live with it as is, covered with Poseidon flooring.
2) There is a height difference between the carpeted surface (above) and the smooth gelcoat surface walkway up in the bow (where the snap-in carpet goes). If I remove the carpet in main passenger compartment, I'm going to have a step there approaching a half inch in height. How is that normally handled when you get Poseidon from the factory? Do they not gelcoat the front section? Is it all one level surface? What about retrofits - how to you handle the elevation change?
I've done some more research on the DECKadence marine flooring (aka "Poseidon"). It's a roll product with a standard width of three feet. A very few colors are available in four and six feet, but mostly it's a 36 inch wide roll.
I took rough measurements in my 24Ve today and three feet wide isn't enough to give me a solid, unbroken piece of DECKadence. That begs the question: Can you (or they) seam this stuff, and if so, how? Will a seam have a different feel under your feet due to adhesives or stitching?
I tried to imagine some way to arrange separate pieces on the floor so the cuts would end up out of the way, or on logical sight lines, etc. But I just couldn't come up with a clean arrangement. There is an obvious division between the bow walkway and the main passenger floor area, but the passenger floor area itself is a problem - particularly when you consider the driver's footwell area.
Anyone ever seen this stuff arranged as multiple pieces butted up against each other on a floor? How well does that work out?
