Carpet In A Bass Boat Is A TERRIBLE IDEA! (Seadek Review)
I have been fortunate to fish out of my @XpressBoats1966 X-21 for several months now, and one thing that I have fell in love with is the @SeaDekVideosandProducts flooring. Decided to do a review video and answer a few questions that I get asked a lot about the flooring. Hope you guys enjoy. Drop any questions you have in the comments!

I brought this argument up with basscat and they jumped my shit saying it wouldn't hold up in high traffic areas. Now we all know that it boils down to they just don't want to have to finish the lids out better in order to run the seadek.
Great video! My next boat will have Seadek, I called yesterday about the same Xpress 21’ boat! 16 plus weeks, not as bad a wait as I expected! Thanks for the review!

Did it come in?
My Z521 is getting it all over this winter!! Can’t wait on boats and pros!
I’m redoing a 2003 Nitro Savage and I’m going with EVA foam instead of carpet. I’ve had so many people argue that carpet is better but I don’t care, I’ve ran it on my Jon boats and bay boats with zero issues.. I’ll never go back to carpet again. Blows my mind you’d want something that holds moisture all over your deck and then years later you wonder why your decks are soft
One of the main reasons I upgraded last year from a 2012 to 2021 was sea dek. So tired of cleaning carpet and taking 3 days to dry. Wash sea dek and 15 minutes later it dry.
Luke how about the chartreuse tail dye. Better than carpet??
Hey Luke! Don’t TH make the Chill pad for a Garmin trolling motor foot pedal?
Thanks for the review, I want to put it in my cockpit in my ranger.
I always will want padded carpet on the front deck for noise, and for absorbing rain while driving. I love seadeck on the cockpit, back deck and in the rod lockers though.
I build and restore boats. Here in the Midwest this stuff it just getting a foothold. The boats I’ve seen come in for restoration with any kind of EVA flooring are more times than not, going back to carpet. This stuff doesn’t hold up well at all and is too expensive to replace every two years. Great for decorative places but heavy west areas looks horrible in a couple years. We had one boat come in, it was a Triton that was sea decked three years ago and it was shredded do to hooks and general wear. There was one place up near the trolling motor that looked like someone pushed off from the deck and it ripped up and this was actual Sea Deck. Great looking in the beginning but doesn’t last in my opinion. Best of luck to you all. 20 ounce marine carpet is still my go to for most all the boats I redo.

Where do you buy your 20oz carpet from. Thanks
I have the h17 with the lighter colored seadek. And almost everything will come out, but I have a few stains I can't get out. If you get it go with the color he has.
Great video, love my seadek! The spray Xpress uses on the gunnel also doesn’t get hot at all in the heat of the day. Where can I find an Xpress hat like that, have searched all over.
Taking my wife to look at x21 this weekend see what she thinks of it. As a boat for us to have for the family. Still a year out or more before I get one but holding out for one for sure.

That’s awesome! I fish 4 out of mine a lot. It’s got plenty of room that’s for sure.
Would love it in my boat my carpet is shot to say the least,if you go sea deck will it effect the compartments?
I am in the market and Xpress is on my list. I wonder is Sea Deck an option for inside the rod lockers too? If I remember the rod boxes and storage boxes are carpeted.

The only knock I have on seadeck is it doesn't look as quiet to walk on as carpet. Not sure that makes much if any difference to the fish but it's one of those things I think about.
If you let it get mildewed I bet it would get slick when wet but I’m def doing this to my boat. I’m gonna start with doing the bottom part where the seats are.
Falcon boats also give you the option for sea dek

Hey Luke, can you tell us the complete boat/trailer/gas/equipment package weight for your boat?
Hey mate. Question please. I am getting seadek with the same pattern as yours and almost same color as well because my boat is green. Question: how come your logo is red and black? Is that another color set just in that piece? My logo is black and red too! Hahaha coincidence 🤓
Like My question is when your running with the deck wet, is water blowing in your face. Carpet holds the water, what about the sea dek??
Dude love this keep it up take no shit awesome brother.
Around how much did it cost you to do your sea deck with all the designs and CNC routing?
I got me a solarflex.hoodie. now I needs me a sea deck
I want the exact set up, what are the prices like and can I apply it myself?
Beautiful love it 👍
Long term will be the true test of durability. All my research has led me to believe that seadek has about half the life expectancy of carpet

Cheaper and better to do fiberglass with gel coat paint. Maybe some nonskid on top of that. You know, like real fishing boats.

Watch big bass dreams you can see for yourself how it where’s. As far as I’m concerned the best is straight fiberglass. My saltwater boat doesn’t have anything and it is the best wash rinse done

Seadek in Florida is the only way to go.
Didn’t mean to hit a nerve was just sharing info from someone who has had it for 2 yrs. is good stuff but does wear out in high traffic areas.

Can anyone speak to durability. Like a dude buys a boat with sea deck, what's it looking like in 10 years. Stains, chewed up, or no??

I can’t speak to the 10 year test, but I know what carpet looks like on a 1 year old 80k bass boat and a 10 year old bass boat. Not good. Regardless of what is on the deck it all takes a beating. That’s for sure.
Put hydro turf on the trolling motor pedal won't be hot
I thank Lund pro v Bass does the same
Sea deck been used in deep sea boats for ever and it does NOT CAUSE U TO FALL MY LORD OCEAN WAVES 100 TIMES WOREST THAN LAKE. NVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN CARPET IN A BOAT EVER . UNLESS U IN A YACHT
Wish you could get padded deck with SeaDek. Hopefully 1 day and carpet will disappear
Seadeck kicking wet stinky carpet in the teeth lol
Expensive.
Horrible trash company. I had Seadek on my new boat. After a year it started to peel up. I contacted SeaDek and they said it was installed incorrectly. It was installed on a new boat at the manufacturer. They refused to do anything....trash product.
