Sea Deck / Gator Step Question

Does anyone have pictures of sea deck or gator step flooring in their boat next to the grey carpeted seat bases/side panels?

Thinking of taking on a pretty big project this winter and was wondering what it looks like up next to the carpet before I decide one way or another.

@thtrog Thank you! Do you have any other pictures close to the kick panel or the bow step? In the side panels of the response I don't think we will have more of a seam like those areas rather then the rounded joints of yours!

The grey sea deck seems to match the carpet color quite well though?

ahopkinsTXi ....... great idea  :thumbup:

When you start this project keep me / us posted, with all the details with pics, kinda been on my mined to. Oh the work though! Lol.... this is a great idea and looking forward to seeing the end result should you persue your endevours. Although I keep my carpet as clean as possible,  no shoes,  rise your feet b4 getting on board, seasons end wash etc. it's the one thing that's starting to show it's age a bit, and I've been thinking in this direction to.

Realy like the look of the Sea Deck!

The SD is lighter, but pretty close depending on lighting.

@ahopkinsTXi please do it and take notes and pics!!  This is on my list-to-do next winter.  One thing that concerns me is the floor panel/section over the fuel tank.  My panel is that honeycomb aluminum stuff and obviously the surrounding floor is fiberglass, I'm concerned with how I can make the edges rounded and look like a factory install.  Do you have a section like on your boat and if so what's your plan for that?

I do have that section and I'm not 100% sure yet. There are a few open issues I need to solve first. I am 99% sure the floor under the carpet is not finished fiber glass. 

I'm going to try to get the boat templated next week, and hopefully that will clear up a few issues. 

Also, long story, but there is a very good chance I won't have the ability to take pictures of this.
