@@AlexGoesSailing do you think it could be done if the eva wasn't previously stuck to the plywood? I can't remove the floors in mine. The router must go thru that eva foam rather easily? Maybe if I can find a way to lay it on a random piece of plywood and secure it with clamps or weight it would work🤷

lovely job well done ,i think i,ll be getting some of this ,i v used something similar to this on exterior cockpit and seating i would use a heat gun on the sticky side light heat as your laying to soften the adhesive get a better grip ,old boats need so much work but worth it for the fun

Looks really good. Next time you need to mark a circle or semicircle don’t forget about pencil and string trick. I love the router idea for a smooth cut, but would probably put another 1-2 coats of epoxy on the edges including the beveled edge of the fake teak. Could help keep the teak from pulling up on the edges and also help seal the ply from water intrusion.
