2004 LSV Swim Platform Pad Replacement

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for opinions for a custom fitted swim platform pad replacement.  Currently have OEM rubber that I have to treat with slick 303 every month to keep black from rubbing off on people.  

I spoke with @Intenseabout his SeaDek platform pad replacement and he said he had to modify the MSP1 he ordered.  The MSP2(65x27) doesn't seem to fit my measured pad dimensions of 64" x 26".  It seems like it'll overhang 1/2" on all sides.  Has anyone put the MSP2 on their 2004 LSV platform successfully?  

Any other custom options out there?

I just replaced the pad on my 06 VLX this past weekend using HydroTurf. I just bought the raw sheet and built my own template of the existing pad before removing it. What I did notice is that the existing pad had shrunk about 1/8-1/4" inch all the way around so I enlarged the template as I was transferring to the new sheet. As other people have mentioned, leave the platform out in the sun to make removal easier or just use a heat gun and work slowly. Once the pad is removed us Goo Gone or Goof Off to clean the remaining adhesive off. I ordered the pad without the 3M backing so I used the DAP Weldwood adhesive to attach the new pad. Since I put it on with a roller, I just masked off any areas that I didn't want glued and then removed the tape prior to sticking the pad down. So far so good, it stayed on for the first weekend. Sorry I don't have pictures but it was a pretty straight forward process if you take your time.

I put on SeaDek MSP2 two months ago.  I have an 06 23 LSV and it fit great and feels great.

Did you measure your pad or your platform?  I picked the MSP2 based on my measurement of the platform.  The MSP2 covered a bit more area than the original Malibu rubber pad but as you can see on mine, it did not go all the way to the edge.
