[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 259181, member: 3438"] I looked into it, but there are a few concerns, that keep it lower on the list. I like the look and the easy clean part. My concerns are down the road at the 5-6 year point. Older vinyl I have seen in boats seem to eventually crack, be it exposure to sun or wear. My concern once it cracks, the water wicks under and doesn't dry. The glues and priming may keep things good for a while, but you will have to replace it. I have never done boat floor vinyl removal, but the last time I did commercial vinyl that was put down with waterproof glue, over a concrete floor, was significant work. I'd think the plywood would take a beating and need replacing. [/QUOTE]
