Hey guys,
I am thinking about updating my swim platform on my V298, or at least give it a facelift. I was wondering if anyone painted it or covered it with "Seadek" material.
Any ideas which is best? And where I can find a video to DIY it myself?
Many thanks in advance

I'll take a pic of my swim platform that i did this year and post it later this afternoon/evening. The product is from Marine Mat. It doesn't get hot on the feet either.

Went to home depot and got some clear plastic in the paint dept and made my own template and sent it to them.
It's a peel and stick product.(3M)
I scrubbed the deck with acetone and Windex to make sure it was clean

Looks great, what model and year is that? How much$$? Does that stuff smell like mildew if it gets wet like my cockpit carpet when damp?

07 288 vista
Doesn't smell because it doesn't hold water like carpet does. Wash it with soap and water hose out. Dries in no time.
It's made from closed cell foam.

Ok
I think at that price it's probably just for the platform. If it's for the interior as well I would tomorrow. That's a really good price

You can get the Vista 298 platform and cockpit for 1,151. SeaDek already has the patterns:
