I am thinking of replacing my aft cabin salon carpet floor with wood. I
will have to deal with 8 hatches. Any ideas? I was thinking of a
prefinished floor with solid wood strips. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Brian

You can lay your own deck using pre cut teak strips (1/4" x 1-5/8" ) and
glue them into place.
Teak decking is quite affordable (approx $9.00 sq ft.) if you do the work
yourself.
You'll need a handsaw, a belt sander and a screwdriver.

If you have the deck installed 'professionally' the cost is approx. $110 per
sq. ft..

So the pro job takes, just guessing, two to three hours per square
foot? How long to do it yourself.
