Duplicating this post from another thread to keep all V358 topics in one place for future reference...I finally got around to getting a mat for my swim platform, something I've wanted since buying the boat. Up until now I have always had a carpet runner on the platform when dockside or at anchor. I never run with it on the platform and did not want snaps protruding from the deck. Based on the weight and form of this mat it is not going anywhere when the boat is idle.
I am completely thrilled with what I got. The most challenging part of the process was making the template because of the unique shape of the swim platform on the V358 - it took about an hour an a half. This is the Ultra Teak AquaMat from Corinthian Carpet with a vinyl backing they call 'UltraLoc' that appears to be very durable and clearly a better alternative to the backing of Four Winns' factory carpet. The construction is excellent and the fit is perfect based on the template I provided. Nick, who has posted here before, provided excellent service and was able to turn the job around very quickly, although their processing time will vary depending on the size of the order, how many orders they are processing and availability of the specific carpet. I know from my discussions with Nick that the Ultra Teak is in high demand.
The product sells for $9/square foot for everything. In this case, my order was 48 sf (12 x 4) for a total cost of $432.
I'll keep you posted on how it holds up, but based on my experience so far, I can recommend Nick and his product without hesitation.
