If it bothers you enough, go buy Seadek! That stuff is legit. I can't wait to do my whole boat in it this fall.

Take this unfortunate occurrence as an opportunity to Sea-Dek your boat. . . . . You will not regret it.

If it were my boat I would leave it as is and not replace the mat until more damage has occurred. Doing an entire boat in sea deck can be an expensive proposition. If you have the piece you tore off consider trying to glue it back in place.

I looked for a while. No luck.

It's ironic that many responses for simple recommendations end up being so extreme. Here, I ripped a small piece out of my swim deck mat. Response, replace it with an entire sea deck kit. What can I say but welcome to the cult.

We SURE do LOVE spending other people's money here. . . .

In truth though, 99.9% of the time when I recommend a purchase, mod, etc. . . . .It's because I would actually do it myself. In this specific case. . . . .since I'm an anal bastard I actually would replace it.
