Seadek pros and cons, looking at installing on the back platform and cokpitt.

My boat is 20 years old and the non-skid on the platform and cockpit are now slippery when wet. We first looked at SeaDek as a way to improve footing, but as we learned about the material, it quickly became obvious that there are more benefits than that. The sound deadening capacity is very noticable. I also noticed that the softness of SeaDek is apparent after a day on the water. Cleaning is just hose off, wash with boat soap or tire cleaner for greasy spots. We have a SeaDek fabricator here. Having a local fabricator is very helpful because you can get a very precise quote and do some tweaks to their normal fit. As far as cost, if you consider the cost of replacing snap in carpet liner with upper end cockpit carpets, the annualized cost is about equal. SeaDek has a 7 year warranty, but they are getting 10 years+ on recreational boats. seaDek costs more but lasts 2X longer than carpeting.
We are quite happy with the appearance and overall quality so far.
We even made it on the customer page on the Seadek website:

Wow! That looks great, Frank. And it's quite an endorsement seeing you personally put it in your boat. It didn't seem like all that long ago that you posted pics of your new carpet.
I see you guys are still drinking that Cobalt Kool-Aid. You do have a knack for finding the sharpest used Cobalts on the planet............!
Have a great summer........
We went with the Aqua Trak-love the look, love the feel, hate the heat. Yesterday in 96* heat, had to put a towel on it to stand on it.
