Very nice.....did you do the install or was the install part of your package?
 
That will get hot in the FL sun. Been on a couple and as long as it is out of the sun it is bearable but when in the FL sun ( or probabaly any sun for that fact) it is HOT.

But it looks pretty good. Like the looks wish I could find something that does not burn the feet and I would also do it.
 
THANK YOU

They installed it.
Really, installation its pretty easy. Glue down. The hard part its to get the pattern, and cut it with borders. Now those guys have it, and i suppose will be cheaper for the rest
 
they installed (glue down), but the hard part its is to get the patter. if you look, every curve has the same patter.
I could buy it, and cut by my self, but make that, its a real challege. I'm not prepare for that kind of job.

Maybe will be hot in summer, but a big part will be cover by the hard top, that's why, i didn't put it on the swimm platform.

Look better and feel much better than the carpet runner!!, and forget black steps all over the floor.
 
I've been looking at installing NuTeak in my cockpit. I've been in contact with the local dealer, but haven't met with him yet to look at the product and talk pricing.

For those that asked about Flexiteek, NuTeak is made by those folks. The dealer told me that it was the same product and I was skeptical so sent an e-mail to Flexiteek. Here's their response:

"Hi Paul

Thanks for your email and your interest in our product.

Nuteak and Flexiteek is not the same product . Nuteak is a private brand of synthetic decking (manufactured by Flexiteek) This product is just aimed for the DIY market.

Flexiteek is the original and patented product, manufactured , produced and sold by Flexiteek, this product are welded together to ensure you a waterproof deck.
I have copied this mail to our branch office in US Florida and they will contact you shortly.

Sincerly yours
Katarina Bjerregaard"


Not sure how I take that, however to me looks like same product, they've just started competing with themselves by also becoming contract manufacturers. If anyone has done a side-by-side comparison of the products, I'd like to hear your findings.

Has anyone done a 560 cockpit?
 
sound to me as competitors, but who knows.

i went out this weekend, not a really hot day, but now, i don't see any black foot print, hair, rest of potato chips, etc on the floor.
After a weekend, i cleaned with he standard same soap used to clean the entire boat. It was easier than the white floor.

I contracted to do the interior too, but they told me about the irregular floor under the carpet, the difference in height between carpet and the new floor with doors. They put so many problems, and at the end, they recommended me to keep the carpet.

Anyway, i don't want to keep the carpet. I will contact flexiteek to get a quote, and see what they say.
