Ok this project is back on track. Last year I was ready to pull the trigger on a synthetic teak floor. And it retrospect I'm glad I held off. I got samples of NuTeak, Flexi Teak, Dek King, they were all very close is color and feel. Our new boat came with a Synthetic Teak floor product called PlasTeak, so before I pulled the trigger on any one of the 3 products I had in hand I thought I would see how the synthetic teak floor in our new boat felt & held up. First thing was the Heat! The PlasTeak was HOT. I brought out my samples of the other 3 I had and tested side by side if any one was hotter or cooler than the other. All 4 samples were equal in their temp. This was a Major red flag for me and put the project on HOLD. I really wanted the look and feel of the Synthetic Teak but was not a fan of the side effects. So that was last year. Synthetic teak floors have a whole new line of products, including a new product called Cool Teak. The company claims its 20-30 degrees cooler than its Original product PlasTeak. As well as a bunch of New colors to choose from they even offer a product that glow's at night. So with that said prepping the floor. i have to finish the edges around the ski locker and motor box and in the meantime I'm awaiting new samples before I pull the trigger on the product. Here is a pic of the boat.
