Larry,

I heartily recommend the Target Coatings 7000 Series product. I applied as Karl describes and am very pleased with the result. I have not seen a cabin sole on a Catalina that looked as bad as mine before I started. Now I love it. I did it just before the Regatta last Summer (peer pressure drove me to it), so having crewed on my boat you had a chance to see it, perhaps you remember the "new" flooring on an old boat.

I, too, found Jeff Weiss to be responsive and informative.

Good Luck!
