NU-Teak Installation

I want the coolteak really bad on my H180's swim platform/inside floors but I can't justify the $1000+ cost!

I know the cost is high and that is a big drawback. I bought the boat at almost half the cost it was worth and couldn't turn it down and was able to justify putting money into the boat and put in what I wanted which I am glad I did.

was messing with the idea, but just decided to go carpet. just recieved the desert cand berber from marine Carpet and absolutely love it. Cant wait to rip the shrinkwrap off the boat.

I am so looking forward to getting the boat on the water. We have had a mild winter here in New England and the weather is starting to hit 60's here and there. Boat in the water in another week and a half.

I keep my boat outside on the dock, I can't install my carpet because it just gets soggy and nasty. Will the nu/cool teak stay good outdoors?

Ric,
The nu-teak is fine outdoors. There are no issues with it that I have heard. I did talk with the rep and he mentioned to me that it is very durable in the sun (it can get hot), but it actually turn a little darker as time goes on and it does not fade.

+1 on the carpet getting nasty and soggy!!!!!! I took my boat out twice with the brand new carpet and hated it! Something about that carpet and salt water was not mixing and it was a pain to get the smell out of it. I trashed it the third time out and have not looked back. I cleaned up the gelcoat underneath and it has antiskid on it which was actually really helpful. I am not sure what I would do different than my current setup but that teak really looks great! Awesome job!

Have you looked into Seadek? http://www.seadek.com/?gclid=COe3it6Pq68CFUbe4AodDkKmWw

Not as good, but can be custom made or you can do it. For a lot less. On my last boat, I had the boat's logo routed into the pad.
