I was going to post some infomation here, but have not had a chance to get the details together. I will get the exact information when I get home from work. But basically I noticed the floor boards on Pony Engine when it was for sale and contacted the owner. Got the name of the outfit and they sent me some plastic to make an outline of the dimensions and they made the floor boards (two piece). These are not square grates but have teak battens that run the length of the floorboard. If I remember the price was somewhere in the $400-$500 range. I don't think they are near the quality that the guy that as at Havasu last year would do, but I am pretty happy with them and they add a nice "yacht" look to the cockpit. I will post the details tonight. Jim Ellsworth M-17 #603 Grace -----Original Message-----

If anyone wants to see a trick cockpit grate, just show up at Havasu in February and look at Jim Ellsworth's teak model--beautiful, if not feather light. Tom On Nov 16, 2010, at 10:15 AM, ndorf@surfbest.net wrote:
Thanks Bones that's an excellent suggestion. I've seen the stuff lined around pools and spas but it didn't occur to me to use as a cockpit floor.
Nice inexpensive solution.

Neil and Larry, There is always Dri-Dek to use instead of a formal wood grate. I have been using it in both M-boats. The M23 has it bordered in a teak frame. (thank you Dick Lane).
