SeaDek replacement for 2005 24V carpet

[angrybird1017]

Im looking to swap out the carpet in my 2002 Tige 24V for SeaDek or something similar. If anyone has a CAD file (DWG or DXF) of the floor layout they'd be willing to share, that would be a huge help. I know the floor underneath is unfinished and will need some leveling, so any advice on prep and finishing would be much appreciated.

I don't have it sorry but you can try reaching out to SeaDek directly. Sometimes they have templates on hand. For prep, just make sure the surface is clean, and dry before laying anything down. a light sanding can help the adhesive stick better. Let's see what the others have to say too!

Unfortunately, I don't think manufacturers release CAD files for specific boat models.
Most folks I know who did a similar project just templated their floors directly.
If you want to try that, I think you can use a carboard or something similar.
For the prep, I agree with @billion_wines2462 but just to give another idea, I also know others had success with a self-leveling epoxy.
Just make sure whatever you use is compatible with the SeaDek adhesive.

Ripping out original carpet to install SeaDek is like taking a classic vinyl record and turning it into a Spotify playlist, it is convenient, but you're stripping the boat of its vintage character and long-term repairability just for modern aesthetics

Thanks for this!! I was hoping to avoid templating from scratch, but it sounds like that might be the way to go.. When you say self leveling epoxy though, do you know which brands or types work best with SeaDek? Also, do you have any advice on how to make the templating process more accurate or easier?
