I just finished templating my 2008 RZ2 and sent it to Gatorstep. They came back with a price of $2100! I was thinking it would be around $1300 since that's what similar models price out on their website. Does this sound correct? What options do I have that will look good? I want to stick with EVA. Seadek is well over 2k as well. At this price I'm tempted to buy a cnc router and make it myself.

DeckFX in Washington cuts EVA to order. There's a guy in Idaho called USA Tuff who's a licensed SeaDek cutter/installer. Theres also a company out of British Columbia that I can't think of the name right now. bsreid may know their name.
There's always hydroturf buts it's nowhere near as nice/sexy as dual layer EVA

Ultradeck is the Canadian equivalent of Gatorstep and Seadek. There are Seadek dealers up here but, Ultradeck has a good foothold locally. Once you factor in duty and shipping Gator/Seakdek are about the same or more expensive. Lucky for you with our dollar it's about a 30% savings on your end. That may make the difference for yourself. Don't know unless you reach out.
IMO with the overall cost of this stuff there are DIY routes you can take but, I believe it's worth the investment to pay for. The decking has been one of the best upgrades I did to my boat and wish I had done it years ago. I haven't done my floor yet however. I have seen others make templates out of 1/8" wood paneling and then router out the pieces to give a nicer finish on the edges. Yes, some of the cheaper sheets seem to have glue issues.

I just installed the cheap amazon stuff on my swimdeck. The adhesive is definitely subpar, but after applying contact cement it'll hopefully hold. I wish they sold it without adhesive. Anyway if it holds up a few years I'll be happy. It'll save me over $1600 to put into a foilboard setup.Attached Files
