Ski Platform w/ rubber mat

[toelke4286]

I have a 2003 Outback. I have the fiberglass ski platform with the rubber mat. I have to scrub the platform with a brush and soap before every use or the black gets on your suit and feet and gets black all over the boat. I have talked with my dealer. He suggested I talk with Skiers Choice and complain. Any thoughts or ideas? Other than this problem, the boat rocks.
Thanks

They have a harder black mat that wont do that. There is also a grey mat that wont do it either but I think it is a softer material that tends to rip.

You could also get Gator grip

Do you store your boat outside? If you do try covering the black mat or take the platform off .
The sun beating down on the platform might be the cause.
