We have maxed out the 35 unit threshold and we are selling kits at 30% off now through the end of the month. You best color choice is storm gray over black or cool gray over storm if you want a cooler color option. Bear in mind that the storm gray over black is brushed surface and the cool over storm is embossed surface (helps to keep the pads cleaner, does not attract as much dirt, slightly firmer on the feet).
Ok I know there has to be a easier way to take the old swim platform pad off. I have a eraser wheel to get the small stuff off but the main part of pad is not easy to get off. At the rate it will take days to get it all removed. I even bought a block cutter and that didn’t even put a dent in the pad. Any suggestions?
We like the adhesive removal blade on an oscillating tool. Also soaking the old turn in mineral spirits and covering with a plastic sheet will help to let the foam separate from the adhesive beneath. Once soaked for about a half hour the pad can be scraped off easily. Just be cautious not to get the mineral spirits on the rub rail rubber and other colored gelcoat.

I'm not familar with a adhesive removal blade. When you say oscilating tool are you referring to something like my dual action polishers i use for paint corrections with while detailing? Thank you for the information.
I just purchased a swim platform kit to match the cockpit kit I got last year. Since the boat is only a couple of years old, should I expect the current swim platform mat to come up fairly easily, or will it be just as big of a PIA as older material?
