Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
Is that Blacktip Carpet?
Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
Pretty sure this is it, I saved it a while back when he did it so I could get for my boat BlackTip Jetsports Sheet Goods White Camo traction mats/Sea-Doo Carpets/Pads/Mat/Footwell https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00843WACQ/re ... fFbRHPTC57homboyfsu wrote:Is that Blacktip Carpet?

I just put the Blacktip foam on my casting platform and it is fantastic. I'll be doing my poling platform next.

How hot does it get? Can the bare feet handle it?FishWithChris wrote:I just put the Blacktip foam on my casting platform and it is fantastic. I'll be doing my poling platform next.

Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
I had some double layered 13mm seadek on before and it was super squishy, comfortable, but needed to be replaced. I bought a role of the Blacktip stuff and took apart my platform, flipped, traced, cut, applied. This is more 5 - 6mm.
I enjoy this SO much more. The guys that have been on my boat can attest to n its comfort. The ridges are nice and its like a little massage for your feet. It does not get hot. I'm rarely at the front of the boat, but it was definitely a great purchase.
I have read reviews where some colors may bleed or run, but less than a hundo for a roll? I'll take it all day.

Carpet in a G3 Boat
eBay has a bunch of it listed.
I put the Snow Camo in my 1st 2 boats and it did great.
I installed the Blue Marble on my current boat and it does bleed a blue dust. I think its because my boat is out in the sun more and my previous 2 boats were kept under a shelter.
If I pressure wash the floor before I go, it will knock all the blue dust off. But who wants to wash your boat BEFORE you go fishing?

Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
You should really consider EVA foam decking.. It's basically DIY seadek, peel and stick(a strong stick too) and it's incredibly cheap for what it is. I did my big boat for around $250, i've had it for a couple years(boat sits 24/7 in the sun and its held up really well.

That looks like the stuff my buddy put in his G3( post 2)..... it looks good, feels good on the bare feet and it makes the deck much cooler. Without that reflected and radiant energy it makes it noticeably cooler

Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
Loving all these deck alternatives. Sea Deck quoted me two grand to do the skiff w/ install. Just more than I want to pay for foam, but these alternatives are right up my alley.

Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
The alternatives are nice, but make no mistake, Seadek is the highest quality. There is a difference. It may not be worth the jump on price, but it is better.Red Beard wrote:Loving all these deck alternatives. Sea Deck quoted me two grand to do the skiff w/ install.

Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
Will take your advice Salty Gator. I need to look at the type of boat I am using and how much I want to spend. Thanks!

Re: Carpet in a G3 Boat
If i had a little johnny or a pure utility boat, I'd 100% go with the BlackTip. However, if I were doing the whole deck, hull, etc... I'd 100% get one of the guys to come out and scan it. Either CastawayCustoms (SeaDek) or Aquatraction
