Re: carpet/verse seadek
I made a template for a previous boat using 6 mm Poly, (vapour barrier), following the line on the edge of my non-skid. Very simple to do and the 6 mm poly is very easy to work with. Be careful, as when you have it down on the floor it is extremely slippery, so wear your skates, lol.
As for what you choose. It’s a personal thing. I have found that over time carpet on a boat gets stained and can start to smell as it goes through it wet/dry cycle. The foam like seadek can be washed and is okay with getting wet as it is impervious to water. It’s great for outside installation as well as aft decks and fly bridge. My plan is to get rid of all the carpet in these area’s.
Good luck with your decision, and share your pics.

This is actually the product that I am going to go with. I guess it goes by different names. I think it will be great addition to the boat.

Re: carpet/verse seadek
Kemahguy - do you have carpet pieces for the areas you are working on? You could use those as templates. er
