Teak Look Aesthetic

[OllieC]

So I just got an email back from SeaDek and they 'can' do the wider faux teak pads with the stripes going bow to stern. The only issue is the brushed grain of the SeaDek is going port to starboard which to me is negligible for such a small area. I should have my drawings this afternoon. I'm pretty excited.

Now I need to get with Dave for the Infinity carpet.

I'll say that as a flowering fat guy in training I will never again run my stripes port to starboard.

Indeed.

My question is, those that run their stripes port to starboard, why does the stripe always end up at the beamiest part?

Well, I installed my new Infinity Carpet that I purchased from Canvas Medic, (Dave) this weekend, I think it came out beautifully. No more soggy carpet after a day in the water, no more stains to freak out over from spilled (ahem) drinks. I am really looking forward to showing this off this Summer. I want to thank Dave for getting this together so quickly.

I am still waiting for my Seadek. It has been almost 2 months since they received my pattern and I still haven't received it. I'm sure its the time of year, but I have noticed that I have had to contact my customer service person to get answers, along with a "I'm Sorry, here is your template drawing" because I hadn't heard anything from the promised dates.

Also, the Infinity Better than Teak is really close to my existing SeaDek Faux Teak in color. SeaDek may be a little darker once you get it but it does fade slightly. The stripes are a little thinner on the SeaDek, however my cockpit is separated from my swim platform, so it won't be noticeable.

Here's some pics of the Infinity Better than Teak. I'll post more once my SeaDek arrives.

Looks great. Dave did a nice job! Looking forward to seeing it with the SeaDek swimplatform. BTW, I found dealing with SeaDek requires some patience but it'll be worth it when done.
