Fiberglass all the way.

Anybody out there looking to get rid of their teak swim deck? I am looking to replace the fiberglass one I have on my 04 Wakesetter VLX. The rubber on the swim deck is leaving black marks all over my upholstery and everybody's feet. Besides, teak just looks better. My buddy has a new MC X-star with a teak swim teak. That thing is gorgeous.

I think ours would interchange perfectly, pm sent.

Did I call your bluff??!!

Fiberglass all the way! It looks better, has grip to it,isn't slotted to catch toes in, and requires NO maintenance. Sounds like a win to me.

I'd be willing to trade my teak platform for a FG but I doubt they'd interchange (anyone know for sure??). I don't mind the teak but I'd prefer FG. It would probably need to be red though...

I don't think it would look all that great with your colors IMHO. red or blue would match up nice!

How deep? Can you sand it down?

a couple gouges are a 1/8 to 1/4 " deep and I have a chip about the size of a silver dollar a 1/4 plus deep on the top deck edge where it hit the dock ..,
