Earlier this year I went to the Atlanta boat show to ascertain what was the best flooring for the exterior portions of our Carver 406. We came out of there with a clear leader of Aqua Deck marine here locally. The material is a 7-millimeter-thick self-sticking solution. The salesperson (Ashley) I talked to (very knowledgeable) already had a template for a 405. She insisted that measuring with a laser is the best way forward as not all boats are created 100% equal. After seeing the finished product, I agree that shooting the decks with a laser gave me the best possible outcome. Also, deciding on the width of the design for the faux planks, we selected the 3” as the 2” on a nearly 14’ beam looked too busy and the 4” was too large aiming the swim platform look small. In the end, I think we made the right choice on the faux plank width. The color (see in pics) is beige with black highlights. They even made us a mat for boarding with the Boats name engraved on it. From placing the order to installation took about 5 weeks. The actual installation was done in one day.

Concerns:
I had a few concerns going into this venture, one of which was that this material would become very hot and not awesome for bare feet. This past weekend proved that does not get too hot. Now that may be the color that I picked or the material itself. Either way it was not bad on bare feet in the bright sun.
The other concern was it peeling up after some age and washing. So far after three months and three washes and a wax job no peeling has occurred to date. I see a few other boats on my dock that have used the same company and their aqua deck is roughly 2 years old and I see no peeling there either.

Pros:
The Aqua Deck looks terrific in my opinion and also provides a little cushion when walking across it barefooted. While this product is not inexpensive, I believe it is added value to the boat.
The detail around all of the hardware embedded in the top side of the boat has very detailed cut outs and tightly fit around each fitting.

Hope this is helpful.
