Help me choose my SeaDek

[njmr2fan]

I have a Maple Red AR190, standard white and gray interior. With that in mind...
Brushed with Border: (thanks to GTBRMC)

Brushed:

Faux Teak

And if anyone wants to share their 190 Seadeck photos Id love to see them.

Faux Teak, ALL the way.

I don't like the Faux Teak. Too busy and looks too hard to line up. I like a simple look. I'm ordering brushed.

I think the faux teak would hide blemishes and dirt more than the brushed and therefore look better over a longer period of time. Of course, I still have carpet so what do I know!

 

[riderP]

The faux teak looks great! I'd go with it...

 

[ScarabMike]

Teak. The other is a PITA to keep clean.

What do you think of faux teak grey on a ghost grey 242LS. Even though the stock is chocolate ? I just think the grey would look better wth the hull color. Anyone else do this color combo?

 

[GTBRMC]

I went with brushed storm gray over black with border. Couldn't be happier.
Note: I don't think OP's "brushed with border" pix are actually with border.

Oh.... I may have confused them. Thanks. Fixed now.

I've always liked the lines in the "berber" style carpet that came with my 192, so if/when I get to step up to Seadek I'll likely go with Faux Teak.

I have the brushed gray and while I am very happy with the way it looks, I have to be really careful about stains.

I am not sure why it would be any different with the Teak. From what Will said they are the same base color. I guess maybe the lines may help hide any stains better, but should stain the same.

However this does make me wonder, I have seen many people mentioning about stains. What is staining these? How "careful" do I need to be??

 

[DBamaC]

Same issues you might have with carpet, spilled drinks, plant leaves, less than crystal clean water in our lakes. It hasn't failed to come clean, it's just kind of light colored.

 

[njmr2fan]

Looks like we're going faux teak. Now, next question do I order a custom named swim deck??????

 

[DBamaC]

In another thread, there was a good point brought up about the negative of having a custom swim deck if you sell your boat, but I have really enjoyed the number of people who have specifically stopped to ask me about it. Definite conversation starter and im glad I did it. If I decide to sell, I'll either replace it to give the new owner info on how they can.

 

[njmr2fan]

Point well taken. Since this is our first boat, and its our first year, I really believe we'll get the best years out of the SeaDek. (If not all of them)

 

[blacksapphirez]

teak is not worth extra money imo...i believe it was $160 over the border style....so i went with the storm gray over black border. calling in the order tomorrow

 

[njmr2fan]

Just to finish this out for future readers who might be wrestling with a Seadek choice....

We went for Faux teak and I really like it. Fresh install for the 2016 season. Wife thinks it looks great! She actually said it makes the boat look expensive, and I have to agree with her, it does have a cool luxury look and feel to it. Very happy.
And, the dogs happy too!

I like that! Some pics on jet boat pilot don't show that the existing snap holes actually get covered especially around the fuel cell hatch. Did the snaps across the front of engine hatch get covered?
