Flexiteek swim platforms for MF795

[Mikeh]

Finally finished. Teak decks of my MF795's swim platforms became partly detached last autumn, probably due to poor or lacking primering. I decided to rip them off and replace with Flexiteek. I had Flexiteek in my old boat and I really like it. It looks and feels great, it's safe and practically maintenance-free. Installing took some time and effort, because to avoid water gathering on the platforms it was necessary to elevate them. Did it by attaching a 3 mm thick PVC sheet between the platform and the Flexiteek. Flexiteek is only 5 mm thick.

Hi,

what color of flexiteek have you installed? The swim ladder stub is flexiteek too?

[Mikeh]

The color is "SCRUBBED" with black caulking. It mimics freshly scrubbed teak and looks pretty good IMO. The piece inside the ladder is also Flexiteek. It was made of two 20 mm thick and 100 mm wide pieces of rubbing rail soldered together.
