A couple of seasons ago I bought heavy rubber mats from Tractor Supply Company; the kind you put down for horse stalls or cattle. I cut pink extruded foam insulation and installed between the ribs and floor runners. Then I cut and laid down pieces of the rubber mats to create a (mostly) level floor surface. I went to a paint store used by professional painters and told the owner what I was doing. He went right to a gallon of paint that was made to paint rubber mats and similar outdoor materials. I painted the floor mats (both sides) plus a piece of marine plywood to replace the rotted transom. The mats and transom still look perfect even though the boat is stored outdoors. Good luck with your project!</p></blockquote><p></p>
