Faux Teak SeaDeck
I installed the new pad today. The overall process was pretty easy. Make sure that your old pad has set in the sun for a while and it will come up with fair effort. I followed the instruction from the Seadeck website. I used GooGone instead of mineral spirits because I had that already. It worked probably the same.

Once the platform was clean, I used acetone to remove anything left on it and let it sit to dry. We have cool temps with no humidity, so it dried quickly.
I laid out the pad and marked them with a pencil. I did the outside two pads first. That allowed me to measure the remaining space and make equal lines between the outer and inside pads. I pulled the paper on the outside edge, set it in place with my lines and worked across. Fairly simple and straight forward.
So, either you like it or you don't. The faux teak is very soft and reminds me of cork. I did not order, nor did I expect, the Moomba on the center pad. At first, I did not like it, but it does make it seem "stock".1997 MasterCraft 205

Yes, I have a galvanized trailer. My dealer is in Mobile, AL and most of the water here is salt. They order and suggest that we all order galvanized due to how close we are to the ocean breeze. It is just cheap insurance against rust, plus I don't worry when I do run in brackish or salt water.
Funny thing is, the trailer came with chrome steel wheels?1997 MasterCraft 205

I really didn't think I'd like it but I kind of do. Agree the Moomba logo is overkill and kind of takes away from the teak look but it's not too big and doesn't hurt too bad.

I like it, however would make 2 changes. lose the moomba logo and make it a single piece. the color looks real good against your ride.. much improved over stock and bet it's much nicer to use now

I asked for a one piece and they don't make it in the faux teak, I don't know why. I think it would have looked better or more "real" without the logo and as 1 piece.
It's different and it seems to function well.1997 MasterCraft 205
