Seadek Flooring: For anyone who decided to install Seadek vs. the snap-in carpets, are you happy with that decision? I'm a little concerned that the holes where the snaps are need to be filled (with silicone on the cheap or with plastic if professionally done) and the Seadek floor may not cover them 100%. Also a little concerned that the Seadek is not easily replaced down the road - like the carpeting is. Any feedback is much appreciated.
When I installed the Seadek there were a few snap holes uncovered. Three across the rear near the engine hatch. Two more at the front in the bow. Since then jetboatpilot offered the two small sections that cover the rear. I bought them and put them in and it looks great. The two left uncovered in the bow were filled with white silicone and wouldn't be noticed unless I point them out. I am very happy with the finished product. My kids will be in and out of the boat dripping all over the place. Carpet wasn't an option in my opinion. Pic below is before I covered the holes.IMG_2881.JPG

Just when I thought I was finished purchasing everything I wanted for the boat Malibu Dan posts pictures of sweet Rims & Tires on his trailer. Oh well I did tell my wife I was done buying items for the boat! But the trailer isn't exactly a boat is it! Lol ! Very Nice Dan, they look great!

We can blame Malibu Dan! I just put in an order for these guys to match the stock wheels on my Tahoe.

Here we go again! I,m going to drop in at a local wheel store today to look at rims. What is the bolt pattern for our stock rims guys? I see Dan upgraded to 15" from our stock 14" should I go 16" LOL!

I got one of those last week. I also got life jackets there as well. $40 bucks a piece was a deal I couldn't pass up.

Nice score! I don't have a Costco member account but I went on their website and didn't see any boat inflatables. Will they let me walk in a store without a membership? That's a pretty good deal with everything needed to tube. What was the rope length?

Did you have to get a membership in order to purchase it?
My father has one so I called him and we went together so I could buy it. You will need a membership as they check for membership cards when you enter the store.
