Those of you with "FAUX TEAK" SeaDek - how is it holding up?

[uncalumx2]

I have the grey and it's fantastic.

no more carpet for me.

Anybody find it strange that on seadeks website they dont offer any precut nautique swim platform pads? I wanted to price a pad for my 97 super sports teak platform

[NautiqueJeff]

I think you'll find that for most Nautique-specific products, even products made by other companies, Nautique requires you to go through a Nautique dealer.

I don't know that putting SeaDek over a real teak platform would be a very good idea anyway. I can't imagine the adhesive would hold up very well on real teak.

I was kicking around the idea of getting it rhino lined and then get a pad for it. Idk the all natural wood look doesnt really match my boats color scheme

[Zach@n3]

Yea, what Jeff said. No no on sticking to wood. That boat never had a composite platform on it.

In the process of installing a kit on my 07' 220. Went with the grey since the boat is black and white. Hardest part is filling and patching the holes from the carpet snaps. A lot of them are covered by the sea dek kit but not all. So far, it gives the boat a whole new look.
For those rare chances that it bubbles, most people just poke it with a pin or edge of a razor blade, then press it down (similar to graphics). The quality and durability has come a long way since it was originally released.

Anybody ever put fiberglass resin on a teak platform, sanded it smooth and then had it painted?

[seth]

Do they make a kit for the OG 210? Specifically 2001?

[Zach@n3]

Seth, Like a composite platform? Or a kit to service that composite platform?

[seth]

@Zach No, an interior kit to replace the carpet. My carpet is pretty thin and this seems like a better route to go.

My Seadek is on the way from Zach@N3 (great guy to deal with!) and I'm wondering what is the best way to remove the old sano pad. Heatgun and a scraper? Any tips/tricks?

Did not know I might still have carpet snap holes showing? How do you fill those?

Thanks!

[Zach@n3]

Seth, Not yet. A customer of mine is working on a full setup for the earlier 210. Seb, The old sano should just come off by pealing an edge and using a heat gun to heat the point at which the material is coming off of the platform surface and other surfaces. Once you get it started it should come off in once piece than use 3m adhesive remover to get the sticky off. As far as the snap holes go. On the occasion that we have one showing we usually take a screw and a trim piece washer (like used elsewhere on the boat) and screw it back down. This looks like it's supposed to be there. Thanks for the shout out Seb, I expect to see pics when its all finished.

[ViSoR]

Perfect, thanks Zach!
Wish I knew beforehand, would have asked you for some washers! lol

Pics will be up for sure once it's done!

[Zach@n3]

Rock on, You should be able to pick some washers up at the local hardware store. Just make sure they are stainless so they don't make nice little rust colored rings on your floor!

First post here, great forum btw.

Someone posted earlier about filling the holes from the original carpet snaps. How difficult / time consuming is this on an 04 sv211?

Just bought this boat last Saturday. First Nautique, other boats have been direct drive Mastercrafts. Our boat is blue gel with grey accents on the exterior, white and blue interior with grey carpet and the original teak platform. Thinking about the grey sea-dek. I guess the faux teak would look nice as well. Thoughts?

Thanks!
