AR240 with seadek installed today

[scubarick314]

Finally got my seadek installed today. It took about 5 hours from start to finish not counting breaks. I'm pleased with the results knowing that if lines are not perfect it is due to the installer (me). I'm glad I didn't get the faux teak. My OCD could not have taken the misalignment.

I got the faux teak and it also took about 5 hours, mainly because my ADD is terrible. I'm almost done, did all the floors and rear part but still have to remove the factory brown stuff and that is not a quick process. Mine has the brown/beige interior so the teak look is good on my end. I do like how it feels on the feet as opposed to the fiberglass. Since I live on pluff mud, the factory Berber looking carpets were never going to be used.

And u saved ur self over 100 by not going with teak

I had my whole boat done as well but in the grey teak. Must say that I like non-teak better after seeing this so not sure I can thank you for sharing. I will have to take some photos so folks can compare before they buy.

Quick cleaning tip; use a pressure washer with a wide angle tip. Removes most everthing since it is closed cell.

does the seadeck just cover the snaps that are there?

Some...you can fill them

Remove the snaps from the floor and fill the holes with 3M 5200.

I'm a little confused so please point me in the right direction !! My 2016 AR240 is the Yacht Blue exterior which I believe has the storm gray faux teak already installed on the rear deck ? If I want to do the cockpit kit will it match the existing Seadek on the rear? In other words , is there any reason for me to tear up the brand new Seadek and replace it ? I don't like the hot carpet in the cockpit and would love to get by in the $500 - $600 range. If I were starting from scratch would most likely do the same as Scubarick and stay away from faux. It really looks good. I wonder if anyone has ever left the factory faux teak on the rear deck and installed the two tone (gray/black) with border in the cockpit ?? Just kicking around ideas and would welcome anyone's opinion (positive or negative) ?

@JetBoatPilot - should be able to confirm. . . . but as long as you order the same color there shouldn't be much discrepancy. At least none that you would notice from the swim platform to the interior (since it's not right next to each other).

Here is mine. Took me about 3 hours. Removing snaps and clean up.

Looks GREAT Jose. Just ordered my cockpit kit and a few optional pieces from JBP this week. They told me about 3-4 weeks on shipping but after seeing your finished product I'm convinced it was the right decision.

 

[Jose galvez]

Thanks it's all worth it. The look and feel are great. One word of advise. As you are installing it don't stretch the pieces. If you do they will pull back once the sun hits it and you will have large open spaces were placed them.

 

[WildCatFan54]

Just curious what you used to fill the holes left by the carpet snap removal ? How tough is it to work with and is it visible around the SeaDek ?

 

[Jose galvez]

I used 5200 the one that dries in 24 hours. I had time. You shouldn't have that much of an issue removing them, you will need a good Philips head bit and a drill. You will have to pack a lunch if you do it with a screw driver. I had a problem with the one's on the inner side of both chairs. I ended up drilling them out they were solid but after that everything ok. As to them showing the ones around the tank show and the ones behind the chairs show but do a good job flattening them down and you will really need to look for them. You should be fine. Remember to mark. And use Acetone.

Looks fantastic! I’m getting a little confused with the different options and colors, yours is the one I’m looking for. Which product was this one?

Did you have to remove chairs? If so how did you do it?

 

[Jose galvez]

Yes the chairs will have to be removed but not the chair mounts. Just look for the levers and lift the whole chair.

Perfect, thank you!
