Any chance anyone has the templates for a modern 228? I want to install seadek.

Did you find that on their website? I went there and was surprised they didn't list Grady White. Maybe I was on the wrong page or something.
Did you ask them or find it on the website?
 
I'd call, talk to someone and let them know you are ready to spend money. They will shower you with help.

Yeah, I have a request a quote to the local installer but I wouldn't be surprised if he is backed up. Everything boat seems to be backed up.
I'll call the main office on Monday.

And signature is so spot on. Is what it is, I love my boat.
 
Order their dryfit tempate. The template on their website could very well be from some Joe Schmoe that did it. It could be off/wrong.

Grady White Gets SeaDeked

We recently finished a custom factory SeaDek installation on a Grady White 226 Seafarer, and by the end of the install it looked like a completely different boat. Joseph Loffek, the Principal of Ge…

Hope this helps. The 2 I specially saw were the 300 marlin and the 330 express

What makes you sold on it? There is no way I would put that on my brand new boat.
How long could it possibly last before it needs to be done over.?
I can tell you for sure, the original deck with the non-slip from Grady will last at least 20 yrs.
After that time I might consider it

Sometimes the "latest and the greatest" really isnt

Easier on my feet, the deck is getting dinged every time someone drops a sinker, looks nice, cleans up well, will out last my ability to go out.

I'm not pushing it on anyone else, you do whatever works for you. We aren't all on our boats for the same reason. Pretty sure Magicalbill has a gulfstream (or Marlin?) and he doesn't fish on it. Which blows my mind because I love to fish but he's happy doing his thing, go him.

Do you have any pictures of your?
we are thinking about using Sea-Dek for our 2000 seafarer226
 
Did anyone end up getting a template for a 228 or a price for the deck? I know KY did the swim step but wonder what the price for the cockpit/helm is.
 
Sea dek people, here is why I did not do it. I may have posted this but just in case...

Two reasons, cost and up keep.

The installer I had, from around the Davis CA area, set my expectations at around $2K (and I mentally just went, ok, $3K for reals). After they came out here and measured the boat, their quote was around $7K, I think over that. I love my boat but $7K to make the deck look nicer? No thanks.

Up keep. It turns out that Sea-Dek is harder to clean than just plain deck (if the internet is to be believed). I've gotten more hard core about cleaning my boat and I can totally see it. A hard surface will let stuff go more than a sort of foamy surface.

So I passed, my boat is a hard core fishing boat, that is all it does, there are blood and guts and everything else dumped on the deck every time we go out.

I think that if you were Magic Bill and you don't fish, yeah, I bet some Sea-Dek on his boat would look fantastic. I'd want to be on that boat.

My swim platform and cabin step and floor ran me $436. Had 2 more pieces done for my storage box tops for an additional $98.
