SWIM PLATFORM FIX!!!

[noworries]

Put the boat in the water and the teak swim step will look brand new before you climb aboard.

As for teak maintenance, that's why my wife birth'd two deck hands who finally grew up to be teenagers and ripe for such tortures. They wanna ride, they gotta work. Lord knows they have no gas money to kick in.

^^^ LOL, here we go again.

Nope I understand teak and various ramifications associated with it.

My boat has fiberglass

With all due respect, I don't believe that this is the most cost effective solution.

I am having my fiberglass deck done this year with that stuff. I just can't decide if I want to do the whole thing or just where the rubber pads are. The rubber pads provided by TIGE are 200 + dollars and they are currently all cracked out and messed up. Any thoughts as to if I should do the whole deck or just the where the pads are?

Just the traction pads SPBFan. But you can also go the www.wakejunky.com (aka gator grip) route also.

Just get a Malibu with a nice padded fiberglass swim platform.

I am having images of bloody shins with a lined swim deck.

Hey, you might consider using Gatorgrip for those inlays.

It actually was quite soft. I was pleasantly surprised

Been looking for transom saver for a while. All the stuff I found (gator grip, treadsafe, 3m stuff, and hydroturf) was either to expensive (way to much material) or needed to be spliced (gator grip).
Then finally I came across this stuff, it's a neoprene foam:

It was cheap, a half sheet of it 21" by 71" at 1/4 thickness, was about $17-18 bucks shipped. Then you add another $20 for them to add the 3m peel off sticker stuff.

Had them cut a two strips of it 5" by 6' (free of charge) and still have about 11" by 6'. All for around $40 shipped.

It's solid with a rubbery feel to it. I think it would be great to replace the stuff on the fiberglass platforms. Plus you don't have to splice, the biggest plus IMHO.

Only really negative thing is there is only one color a dark charcoal. But it worked out perfect for my application.

I'll take a picture of the stuff on my boat later today.
