Loving the SeaDek kit!

Yes we'll create those pads if you can send over the DXF.

In regards to the large pads vs the smaller broken pads we found that installing smaller pads is easier for first time installers. Also you're right, if you need to replace one pad it is half the price as compared to replacing a large pad when you have them broken. Also we have the option to offer the thick 20mm upgrades when we break the helm pads.

One final note. I have sold the Black-Tip pads in the past and if I know anything about the company that made Black-Tip and is now making Marine Mat, they will produce a nice looking product but the quality will not be nearly as good as the SeaDek. I have personally seen the Marine Mat delaminating after only a few years of use. Also cracking and disintegrating has been observed. SeaDek hands down will last you longer, I would bet by at least double the amount of time.

FYI: We are going to be launching a snap down version in 2017. I am still not sure that it will have any advantages over the stick down version but if people want it we want to be able to provide it. We'll keep you posted as we learn more about the process.

Sorry could not get the template made today. My home A/C went out again yesterday (4th time this season) so priorities had shifted. I'll make the template this weekend and bring it in with me to work on Monday to make you the DXF file.

Thanks we got to enjoy it for the first time today out on the water. Felt so good on the feet. What mistake did I make lol? I'm worried now haha...

 

[Rick Owens]

Where you able to get file template to Will?

The suspense is killing us! I'm dying to know about this "mistake" before I install my kit next weekend! :}

Did you get what you needed? I am happy to send you more money...

 

[Rick Owens]

Yes please give us an update. I have the complete inside kit on order and would like to order the additional piece as well.

 

[haknslash]

Sorry for the delay everyone. Work and life has been hectic lately and I didn't have time to crawl in the boat. I pulled the cover back tonight and took the measurements and I will draw it up while at work tomorrow. I'll print it out full scale on paper first to make sure it fits nicely and then send it to Will. Pieces are roughly 21.5" x 2" and 6" x 2". There are some angles around the scupper and radii on the corners I'll add for a nice, finished fit to match perfectly. Hang in there guys!

 

[haknslash]

I got the pieces drawn up today and printed out. I'll do the test fit tonight and if everytthing lines up nicely I'll send the DXF to Will (@JetBoatPilot).

 

[Rick Owens]

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

The only mistake I know of that I made was getting the ski locker a little crooked. If you order the bow kit the two outer pieces are easy to get backwards since it can fit even if you have pieces on the wrong side and rotated wrong. I almost made the mistake of putting them in the wrong orientation. The rear step over pieces also have a slight curve to them and can be placed either way but you'll notice they should match the same slight curve of the engine hatch gap.

Thanks @haknslash

Thanks @haknslash

Glad to help!

Here's the templates laid out in the boat, keeping in mind I still have snaps under the paper so that's why they're not laying flat. One tiny detail I noticed was one side of the pocket for the scupper is not quite the same angle as the other (smaller) side. The angle looks dead on for the right piece but the left piece could stand to be a couple of degrees larger if we want to nit pick the details lol. I can change it and print it out again or we can live with it so that it symmetrically matches the same angle as the other piece (20 degrees). Other than that tiny difference I think they look pretty good and if take them as is if that's what it would take lol.

Thoughts?

Are you talking about the orange side or blue.
It looks good but now that you have pointed it out my OCD would kick in. Kinda hard to tell from the pics though. You are the one doing all the work and I don't know how much trouble or time it would take you to redo.

Is it that noticeable and would it bother you ?
