The first step in our pontoon makeover was to install new flooring. One of our local partners, Morsches Builders Mart, installed a new marine plywood deck, and we chose to install Infinity Luxury Woven Vinyl™ Flooring on top. This is a great, modern flooring option for a pontoon refit. The woven top is soft underfoot and antimicrobial, preventing the growth of mold and mildew. Woven vinyl flooring is also UV stable and won’t get waterlogged like carpet. Plus, this material can be cleaned easily with a hose or vacuum, making it perfect for a busy camp atmosphere.
Infinity vinyl flooring can be installed as a snap-in mat or glued in place. For a pontoon like this, a glue-down application is best. The process is very straightforward and can easily be accomplished by a DIYer. Infinity Woven Vinyl is 8 feet, 6 inches wide, making it wide enough to cover most pontoon decks without seaming. Using a solvent-free, marine exterior adhesive, like AAT 390 Marine & Exterior Adhesive, you can affix the flooring to the deck in one continuous sheet.

The flooring we installed in the video is for the boat we revamped for a local summer camp in Indiana, Camp Whitley. We teamed up with several other local businesses in the area to refurbish an old pontoon boat. If you're interested in other marine flooring DIYs, check out this link here.
