Music is a bit much, especially the first couple songs. When your narrating in the beginning, it's tough to hear you and a distraction to what your saying. Great video of the new install though, looks great!

Very nice looking job! Best of luck with it! You mentioned "in the Florida sun" ..... that, is one formidable foe to face in battle.

Great video Jeff! Looking foward to that project down the road a bit.

That looks great, but it also looked like a lot of work. Nice job.

One advantage of being retired is I can take my time and not over do it in one day.

Ya that looks amazing very good grip even in the rain.

@JeffBattleFish email sent, love the fish scale design on your boat looks really good.

so take one foam product off for another foam product, Polyethaline Foam. The first decking appears to be Amazon or eBay grade likely without UV inhibitors and a lesser quality PSA based off of the removal. The good news is that you figured out that you have to get the foam off with the oscillating scraper before dealing with chemicals.

Nice MDX.

How long did the stuff that you replaced it with last or keep its appearance and structural integrity and would you buy it again?

The EVA foam from eBay and Amazon that I took out only lasts two years. I fish 4-5 days a week and I'm in Florida. The white lines disintegrated first then the brown, could see it washing away each time I rinsed the boat off. Plus if gouges easily. I would not put EVA foam on a boat again.

Did the boat sit uncovered in the sun? I just ordered some custom cut/but still not name brand Eva foam. Hoping it lasts 5 years minimum. I only go out on weekends May-Aug and boat sits covered when not in use

Covered under roof however I fish 5 days a week in Florida. So it’s exposed. The Aqua Traction is used by guides here and lasts up to 7 years.

Do you have footage of your old eva foam? How it looked after two years?

@JeffBattleFish

It was all cracked up and flaking away.

A steamer might work to take off

How much did the aqua traction cost you? After seeing this, looks like its worth the money to pay someone to give a great result.

Thank God I really looked into using EVA foam products. No way in hell am I buying the cheap stuff. I'll just repaint my deck and when I can afford a 1quality product.

why people still use foam is beyond me , its a very out dated way of filling spaces & becomes water logged after a few years ... its way better to pre fill empty gaps with plastic bottles & then foam them into place , less chance of water logging & if your boat ever gets a hole in it the bottles will provide buoyancy & stop you sinking
