Cost maybe? Is that stuff cheap? Have you considered exterior plywood
covered with a fancy linoleum?

I would think lino would be slippery, especially when wet.

Oh! I agree.

But wouldn't it look nice?

Seriously though, Hey, I'm enjoying this thread. It's giving some good
insight on things which I appreciate.

This is what Rec.Boats is for!

I knew you had good taste. Besides, a little glue and some sand and the
slipperiness is history!

Hey John.

Thanks for the heads up on the linoleum.

So far I have this picked out.

Ai't it great?

That's beautiful!

I especially like the 'fake moldy' look towards the middle. You couldn't
have done better!

Well, I look at it like this John.

Popel go out and pay 100+ bucks for a pair of worn out, faided, dirty
looking Jeans with raggedy holes in the knees, so I figured this might
be the ticket. *it would give the pontoon floor that broken in "homey"
look. *Of course I would need to ask permission, but I think I might
ask some people at the local trailer park what their kitchen floors
have. That gives more options, y'know.

Then you could use some old kitchen furniture, but be sure to bolt
down the chair you'll be using to drive the boat!- Hide quoted text -

Loog, we're on the same track. Instead of paying out $500. plus a
piece for pontoon furniture etc, I was thinking more on the $20.00
yard sale couch etc. Especially if I can find some that has that "oak
barrel" look.

But reflecting from the past I rememeber the days of my ill-spent
youth. some *buddies* any I were going to take an old 10x45 house
trailer and strap plastic 55 gal. barrels under it ( a bunch of 'em!)
Take a truck salvaged 350 chevy and automatic transmission , make a
direct drive on the drive shaft, and have dual rudders complete with
power steering from the rack and pinion from a Chevette. Steering and
rudders up front, engine in the back (seemed like it ought to work). A
4-K generator to power the freezer, microwave, TV, lights and
refrigerator. Freezer for food, 'frige for beer.

We were planning on dropping in at Vincennes In. float it to the Ohio,
then to the Missippi. and ride it out to the Delta.

We didn;t think we'd need to check with C Guard or any water
authorities, after all. if it was good enough for Huck Finn it was
good enough for us!

Well, needless to say it never happened, because 30 years later, I'm
alive to write about it.
