I doubt any vinyl plank flooring exposed to the NC sun would last more than 1 
season--OTOH for those who hardly ever see their shadow, maybe not!!

Unless your boat never leaves the slip, I would not personally do vinyl plank 
flooring. I work in multifamily development (apartment buildings) and we have 
miles of vinyl plank installed in our projects. While it is a great product, I 
think it would not provide great footing at any kind or heel and it would be 
difficult to finish the edges precisely and aesthetically. It also 'moves' 
quite a bit, i.e. expands and contracts so that when it is installed one has to 
leave 1/4"-1/2" gap at any fixed element, like a wall or cabinets, which is 
covered by the wall base trim. This allows for the vinyl to expand and not push 
up when constrained.  It is also heavy, even for our not lightweight boats.

I wonder what vinyl plank flooring would look like.

We are looking at doing the same.  Our sole is pretty worn as well.  That same 
plywood here is about double in price.  I think a number of the group here have 
done this already.

Would love to see your before and after pictures as we have a 36 as 
well.AdamPictou NS
