Installed My SeaDek Today

[Gym]

Wasn't a bad job. The cockpit area was naked so just removing carpet snaps, sealing the holes, washing with soap and water then acetone was the only prep required. The swim platform had the original padding. All but the upper platform came up with little to no glue residue. To clean off the glue I used GooGone and the abrasive side of a kitchen sponge. That plus a few rinses with acetone took care of the mess.

Laying down the new decking was easy and quick. I used the kneel and peel method. I would line up the piece, kneel on it, peel back 1/3 to 1/2 of the backing and press it down. That would hold the piece in place so I could then peel back the rest of the backing as I pressed the SeaDek in place. I'm happy with the results and so are my feet. No more snaps to step on.

Gym the seadeck looks like a million bucks.
Good job with the install.
I will be curious how you like it after some time on the water.
How hot under foot is it?
We have been looking at the same pattern for our boat.
Please post a review after awhile.

I installed the same color and can tell you that even in the Florida sun it doesn't become unbearable. It can be hot but nothing that hurts.

Ah, good to know @Murf'n'surf. I did the install on a mild sunny day and noticed it was warmer than the bare white floor. Glad to hear I won't have to spill cold beer on it to cool it down.

I won't be on the water for another week or so @Evildwarf. We just had the 2nd & 3rd coldest June days in recorded history where the temps didn't even get into the 50s. I'll report back when I get my feet wet.
