Cabin sole replacement

[Moosemiester]

I was able to slide the new subfloor under the cabinet frames, with a seam in the middle of the floor. Take it apart slowly... decide as you go what the plan is.

Or C-385 has Lonseal, a faux teak and holly. We love it, looks real, and very durable. All Catalinas use it now. Maybe over marine plywood?

Turns out the farthest forward stringer is rotten and the main bulkhead separating the settee and head is rotten. Unfortunately I due to that, I did not want to tear it all apart for repairs until I finish my other projects. I also have to rebuild the chain locker bulkhead aswell. Might as well tackle all sections forward of the saloon/settee in one go. Means I'll be able to update our head to be a bit more modern in appearance.

That being said, the wife will have to deal with the forward section of the boat to be a construction zone for a few weeks(ie month or two)

Lonseal looks pretty interesting! I'll be using marine plywood and will layer whatever I use over it. I assume it's a plastic like material?
