Location: Eagle Lake Vermilion Bay, Ontario | had the new vinyl flooring now available from Fiberdome/Tuffy in both mine and my sons 's 2100's for a full season now as a test and was impressed. i had the textured flooring available in lunds for 5 seasons and while it was a big improvement over carpeting from what i could see after a long season was the flooring product tuffy is using appeared to be a bit more durable as far as wearing flat spots and resistant to tear. one thing i can tell you is if someone drops a cig or cigar or a hot ash from one you WILL have a burn spot instantly with carpet. this product was very resistant to this to the point of no worry and also to any type of staining. very easy to clean/wash at days end. it has a ever so slight "cush" feel to it that it appeared to me to help a bit in feet and ankle fatigue when standing long days.
is it a bit more slippery under below freezing conditions with building ice...yes any/all vinyl will be to some degree regardless of texure or nap but as long as you were aware of that it wasnt an issue and it was much easier to get rid/scrape off any build up of ice or snow than with the carpet. from what i've expereinced i would recomend it for the cockpit flooring over carpet. ease of cleaning,resistance to wear,burns,staining,etc.,longevity vs the carpeting,and appearance were all a plus.
an option to consider as far as your pre owned boat would be to contact tuffy and inquire about having them professionally install it.
