This is something I have been very interested in for some time as well. If I ever do order a new one, I would love the option for no carpet and personalize with Sea Deck. I understand about not going around the lid ends, but all the boxes are sealed. The only thing I’m not sure of is the lid finish on the ends where the Sea Deck wouldn’t cover(small detail). However, to me, wet carpet drives me crazy. And carpet stains run a close second. I know, to a degree, both of these can be controlled, and somewhat self inflicted obviously. With that being said, with Sea Deck, which doesn’t absorb water, would keep the deck a lot drier much faster. This would also prevent the possibility of mold and that damp musty smell that seems to arrive after fishing in the rain all day and being put up wet. Also, with Sea Deck, you can layer several colors on top of each other, you know, like the colors of your boat, and I think that would really bring an already beautiful bass cat to another level of eye candy so to speak. Not to mention, when its time to clean it, spray it down, done. As was stated before about the changing seasonal weather in winter and spring, I have no experience with this stuff either and don’t know how it reacts to those changes. And, I’m in no way knocking the carpet in my cat!! I am very happy bass cat uses the carpet they use. Would like to know if any of the coastal guys on here have an opinion, seems there is a lot more of this stuff on the coastal boats currently. Just my 2 cents guys, but I like the look of it, its padded, don’t hold water, endless design and personalized options, easy replacement if ever needed vs. carpet. Pros and Cons to everything, like to learn more about it, would like to hear more of the Cons.
