Seadek flooring over plywood
 

Good afternoon all!

I am new to the page and also a new Mariah owner (1994 z212). I have searched the threads for an answer or guidance but couldn’t find anything for my particular question. While I love this bot, I do not love all the carpet in it. My thoughts were to rip it all out and put seadek it a form of foam padding down.

My question is, what would I need to do to the plywood to make it “waterproof” since I will be removing the protective layer of carpet? Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Hi Family fun
I have done the same as you ripped out the carpet on my Z202 1995. The carpet after a clean wasn't to bad so its been put back in with a view to changing next year. The best thing I found to seal the deck was a water based epoxy two part paint ( they call it bilge paint) Its a seriously good sealer and goes on thick enough to level out the ply imperfections. Here is the supplier I got mine from in the UK. Home | ASK Coatings Ltd, Epoxy Specialists. I'm sure there are other suppliers near you.
Although this is pretty safe stuff I would still use all the Epoxy safe working gear. All the best. Andy.

Andy thanks for your input! I’m hoping to get this done in the winter. Do you have any pics of your progress? I’m liking the “less maintenance” idea. Just wanting to make sure I don’t add an issue by uncovering the plywood.

I have ripped out the boarding in the ski locker and replaced it with ribs as I thought it may have been structural . It had very poor drainage which is now replaced with plastic pipes overplayed with resin and Matt . All covered by some artificial grass !!
The surround to the locker was corroded badly so it is now reinforced with carbon fibre tape :
Hope this helps come back if you want any further ideas or help I will do my best.
Cheers Andy
