Are you using the same color for the kiwi grip? Hatches look awesome!

As you can see, the SeaDek is light blue. The Kiwigrip is light grey.
In tropical Nth Queensland and the Northern Territory, the challenge is to keep things cool underfoot.
A mate has SeaDek in light brown - and it gets hot!

Same here in south Florida. That's why I asked. Hopefully the sea deck doesn't get too hot.

After 3 years of talking about it, I finally got the SeaDek down!
