Anyone changed carpet to any of the new foam deck coverings?

[Larry Williams]

I've considered replacing the lower floor carpet in my 2017 /Z-18 with something like Sea Deck material. Carpet still looks and performs great but I see a lot of positive reviews and advantages with some of the new foam or rubber materials? Anyone done this yet on a Nitro Z boat? would love to see or hear about it if so. I would prefer to have a custom cut piece to fit the floor section rather than try to cut and install from sheets? Any info and or pics of work done will be appreciated!

I have a 2003 288 sport that I custom cut from sheets the fore and aft platform decks. It was really difficult from start to finish, the old carpet glue was really hard to remove! All the cuts had to be individually templated but it has held up really well two seasons now, very durable but takes stains and impressions. Double glue it with contact cement and get pre-fitted custom sets if possible.
