    If you want carpet you can put it down ontop after

    A know a few other people with seajay boats. And the amount of leaves,swivles,scales and crap that gets down that little gap on the side is amazing.

    Least with a sealed deck you wont have decomposing crap in your hull
    How did you get on with casting deck and the hatches?? I know that the carpet is bitch to clean when you get sand in it. Do you have photos. can you be more specific on the paint you used>

    I have the SP model, so its a flat floor and a bit easier.

    But my cousin has a territory and he did the same. He simply used some 40mm aluminium angle along the top and bottom edge of the platform to give it a nice seal.

    As for the hatch, he glued a square bit of rubber on it and cut it 1 inch larger than the hatch. This stops most of the crap getting down the edges and also helps with grip.

    As for pics, dont have any of my cousins boat on me currently.

    The carpet is nice to walk on there is no doubt. Gets hot on the feet though. how does the none slip paint go for that?? I usually use sikaflex to seal anything on a aluminium boat as silicone can be corrosive. But you have me thinking.

    Silicone is fine as long as its neutral cure. But sikaflex would be just as good.
    I use a simple low sheen acrylic paint with the mix in non skid grit. Since owning my boat from 2007 I have only just recoated the deck. So you should get 2 years + from each coat.

    I found it was significantly cooler than carpet. I spent 3 weeks at whitsundays in xmas when I first got my boat and the carpet was unbearable. Even when you throw some water on it to cool it down it tends to steam.

    The painted deck does get warm, but nothing like the scorching heat of carpet. It wont look as nice as carpet, due to scuff marks. But if its a fishing boat your after its alot more practical I've found.
    Plus my boat never smells like rotten fish like all other carpet boats

    If you have a carpet boat that doesn't smell, then you haven't caught fish in it yet

    Another option..

    I have a mate with a 4.4 mako boat. He sealed his floor totally and put small scuppers in and got that spray on rubber you can get for inside of ute trays. Cost him about $300 but it works a treat and completely seals his hull.

    Try a cast net add crabbing mix with fish scales mullet bait and cod vomit your carpet will stink add about 10 inches of rain over 4 days at Hinchinbrook it smells sweet.

    Hi Mate,

    Whereabouts did u get the alloy strip from in pic 2??

    Or does anyone know where I might be able to buy some cut to size in North Brisbane??

    Picked up the boat saturday, took it for a run on Sunday and very impressed. Was a litle disappointed initially until I jumped in the old boat (which we also had out) and was instantly very happy after the seeing the difference side by side. However I do think my motor may need to come up a hole, probably a shade over an inch of water running over the anti cav plate.

    Will get some pics up int he next few days after I have made some progress.
