Best SeaDek colors for 2010 Yamaha?

[JetBoatPenguin]

Going to add SeaDek (on the special buy). The boat is a 2010 AR240. What colors for the SeaDek does everyone like who has them (circa this vintage of boat)? Pics would be great. Or asked another way . . . if you bought SeaDek again today . . . which color would you go with?

And as a bonus question . . . is 5200 still the recommend approach to fill in the Snap holes on the floor?

As always . . . thanks to the group.

Boat color is the Dark Blue.

@JetBoatPilot any recommendations on the color? I like the storm grey over black....

Yes, 5200 is still recommended for filling the snap holes.

 

[JetBoatPilot]

Yes Storm Gray over Black is most popular for that boat and year.

I think the 5200 is fine for filling the holes. Mine yellowed a bit, though, over time. If I had it to do over again I might really fill them with gelcoat. Maybe.

Oh, and color-wise, yes, storm gray over black...

 

[JetBoatPenguin]

Thanks. Installed it yesterday.

How was it, pulling the snaps and filling in with 5200? I thought I heard or saw someone say you can actually get the Seadek that snaps in, but it sounded like having a pool on the 4th floor in high school. Not sure it’s real.

We are less than optimistic about introducing a snap down version for our product line. There have been lots of complaints about the quality over time so we've really not wanted to get behind it. SeaDek corp is reportedly getting behind a version of their own but the process is very different from others in the industry, including the OEM Yamaha pads. Bottom line is don't bet on us having a snap down Yamaha SeaDek kit any time soon.

Thanks, Will! Appreciate the quick response, as always.

You're welcome!

Pulling the snaps is no problem. Very simple. And filling with 5200 works fine (though mine yellowed over time a bit and now shows where I was not near and tidy--only to me. Too small for anyone else to notice).

And I would not want to go back to pulling out any snap in flooring. This stuff just as Will has it is great and makes life so easy. Nothing can get under the flooring, so it is just not an issue.

Realized I was delinquent on the verifying pic. ;-)
