after market teak decking

omudie · 13 May 2009, 19:46

hi, i have a 4 y/o 7.5m cobra and was thinking of fitting fake teak decking, i understand there are a few choices on the market, does anyone have any thoughts on which to choose? i saw some at ribex this last week-end, but im not sure which company it was, does anyone know? also, roughly how much does it cost & are there any disadvantages in fitting it? Thanks for your help, Ollie...

This is the one I know
http://www.flexiteek.com/

Advantage- looks good and can be cleaned once a year with a high pressure hose, does not lose colour and good grip

Costs about £2000 I think for 7-8 m RIB, prices shown on their web pages

Just having it fitted to my 8mt Aircraft will let you know how I get on with it

Treadmaster have recently introduced a 'teak effect' product http://www.treadmaster.co.uk/teak.html

It's not quite as realistic looking as Flexiteek or Tek-Dek, and they don't claim it be so, but it is a lot less expensive.

We fit Tekdek - here is our latest project for a customer - we are customising a Phantom 19 raceboat with all sorts of nice stuff - here is the deck and rear seat.

Is that a Legoland speedboat Cookee?

Looking around, TekDek looks great but is the most expensive.

I gather you can get a DVD and 'do it yourself'.

I have also been told that the best method of ensuring it sticks is to vacuum bag the deck.

I intend having a go at the end of the season.

It is heavy though.
