AR195 swim deck mat replacement

[malibu Dan]

well, only had the boat out once this past season and its been in the garage ever since. I noticed this weekend kids cat has been using lower swim platform as a scratching mat..
I guess I'll be replacing the mat (wish it was the cat) in the spring..
Are the mats for those available already?

That's crazy! @Scuba_ref had the same issue... Not the same cat, was it?

Sounds like the cat needs an extended vacation at the "farm". lol. I ordered Seadek from JetBoatPilot for my boat and it matches the swim platform perfectly. They even have extra thick ones that act as a cushion.

Thanks for the advise... just hovering around freezing today.... I guess this will be a good project for May

Gator Step out Canby Oregon has a similar product as well. I just purchased an AR195 and taking out the carpet and replacing it with gator step.

Gator Step is what @bobbie has installed in her super cool 212X, I think.

Oh, and WELCOME @DavisAR195 !!!

I checked out Gator step booth at Portland boat show last week.. seems well made but very pricey..

 

[jpass]

Have you priced out a SeaDek replacement?

 

[malibu Dan]

If it's the same as the 190 listed on the site then it is only $99 for the lower platform... wow.. can't beat that...

This one? https://jetboatpilot.com/index.php?id_product=83&controller=product

190's come with Hydroterf and the 192/195's come with SeaDek. If you did just the lower its going to look messed up compared to the SeaDek IMHO.

Well, Marine Mat got back to me quickly and relayed that because they supply Yamaha still , no aftermarket swim platform available. I need to get it from my local dealer... only need lower platform so I am not looking to upgrade to Seadeck or Gator step quite yet. Only 4 hours on the boat so far..

Did you call Jetboatpilot? They sell Seadek in sections and may be able to send you just the section you need. It matches perfect.

I would think you tell them what number section you need and they will give you a price.

I checked with them and they relayed that their product would not be an identical much.. I'll see what kind of price River City gives me.
