Like Thrill said, I have ended up measuring almost all from scratch. Fit, trim, rinse and repeat. I have used the old pieces of floor for the rough cuts. Added 1/2 inch to all the sides a d then adjusted as needed. Even then I had to glue back some pieces to make it wider.I had an offcut of the old vinyl laying g around and I have cut it up in small prices and together with the offcuts of the carpet "shimmed" thr joints to make sure they are tight. Of course the hatches needed to be less tight then static joints, so it was all custom fitted.I did enjoy the process though. Feels good to be putting things back. Even though I know, that all of it will come out for coats of varnish and vinyl. Hopefully glue is not going to add much thickness. LolI do have a question for you guys. I will be mounting downriggers on this boat. I do not have much room on the tgunnels (especially on the starboard side where cleat, gas filler and light are all located) . I have come up with the stand idea. Not super happy how it looks though. Feels like an afterthought. Any better ideas? Or should I just mount it on the gunnels?</blockquote>
