    240 Sundeck swim platform matting

    Looking at putting Seadek faux teak matting on the rear and front swim platforms and maybe the entire deck. Seadeck has patterns for a 2006 240 Sundeck which MAY fit my 2008 240 Sundeck but not sure. Anyone out there have a 240 Sundeck with Seadek matting?
