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

Nevermind about filling the snap holes, just re-read Zach's response.

Welcome to Planet Nautique! Congratulations on your new boat!

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!

I'm a big fan of the brown faux teak color but apparently they sell alot more of the grey color. I would go with the brown if I were you.
The sano pad comes off relatively easily, heat a corner with a heat gun and pull it off. Mine didn't even leave any glue residue!!

My boat is green/grey/white and I went with the brown seadek. All that's left to do is clean up the surfaces and stick all the pieces. Looks great!

Looking good Seb!!! I trust the modified walk thru piece from my quick measurements matches up the way you had wished? You have your work cut out for you over the winter. Did you find someone that could correctly install the decals? Oh fyi the others are in the mail.

Everything seems to fit great!
Only small issue is that on the biggest piece in the center of the boat, the small holes for the screws don't line up with the screws. I'm guessing they're location can vary slightly from boat to boat? I'll have to trim some new holes in the seadek for the screws.
I'll have my local dealer do the graphics early next spring.
Oops, forgot to return the black stickers to you, will mail them this week!

No big deal! It was my bad anyways ha. The issue with the Seadek matching up on boats that never had it is that it all depends on what day and who was installing the screws how well they match up. Now they have to make sure they fit on the boats but previously it didn't matter and nobody was going to get down there with a tape and measure out the locations. Close enough was good enough. I did templates on a Kayot Deck Boat this summer. Nothing and I mean nothing at all was uniform from side to side on those boats. Each template was unique to that section of the boat. As much as we would like to think they are an exact assembly process like cars are they are not and never will be ha.

Your install does look great, and I like the color. Thanks for the feedback!

Seth, Not yet. A customer of mine is working on a full setup for the earlier 210.

@zach, any idea how much the kit for a 2000 Super Air would run? Also, what's under the carpet? A lot of the newer boat seems to have a gel coat finish under snap in carpets, but I'm pretty sure it's just unfinished fiberglass under my carpets. Would I need to have them finished with gel coat or is the SeaDek a drop in replacement for the carpet even on the older Super Airs?

[Zach@n3]

I will keep you posted on full details of his conversion. The floors are un finished under the carpet but I think he thinks it could be done without further finish work besides removing remaining carpet and glue. No clue on the cost but the floor kits for 210 and 230 are generally between 650-750 ish. That isn't including platform pieces and such.
