I have my floor grinded down and I am letting the wood dry out, it seems that it is ok, it is not rotten. I have a friend who owns an import shop, he gets lots of carbon fiber for the hoods he builds. He could probably get me a big enough piece to do the bottom of the boat. I like how strong CF is and the fact that it weighs nothing. Has anyone ever used CF for their flooring? I was going to use the traditional matte then cloth, do you use CF to replace the matte? I dont know if it is a waste of time, I was just thinking about it...it would make for a cool looking floor, that would be strong and light.
