I just purchased some Deckadence for my boat also. Maybe I should put this in Deals, but since it's being talked about here, I'll mention it. Don't know if Jim's flooring still has it, but he had two pieces of Beach Beige, each 6' x 9.5'. I bought the one, so unless he sold the other, he probably still has a piece left. If the price didn't change, $420 + shipping. (That was $85 to Wisconsin.) Colby |

How does the Decadence floor covering compare to "Seagrass" vinyl floor covering? I can see that the Decadence stuff might be better for people who use their boats for fishing. From what I read online the Seagrass stuff might be more comfortable underfoot for cruisers. |

The Decadence on John's boat was not only beautiful, but very comfortable under foot. I suspect that the "Sea Grass"would be cheaper. _________________ Bob Austin

Sobelle,
I have only seen SeaGrass in ads for luxury boats.
Per this site,
https://www.amazon.com/Seagrass-Luxury-Marine-Flooring-Infinity/dp/B014JVTVJQ
it comes in 8.5 foot widths ONLY which is too much for a CD (vs 6 ft for Deckadence), and is only 80 mil thick (about the thickness of 3 credit cards...seems awful thin, doesn't it?). The 8.5' x 80mil x 10 ft on Amazon is $1,120 + shipping.... YIKES! And some of us thought the Deckadence was expensive!
I can't believe the 80 mil thickness is correct and would like to hold a piece or see a pic to scale if anyone has installed it.
Most C-Brats would install radar instead for that price!
Let us know if you get a definitive answer...

I've seen it online for much cheaper than that. It worked out to about $8 sq. ft. Sailrite sells it too.
I have two carpeted floor mats from HD in my cockpit. They cover the whole thing and were about $12 ea.
Some posters online say that the Decadence flooring can get very hot when exposed to the sun and while ok on your feet is uncomfortable on other parts of the body (sitting, kneeling). Others say that SeaGrass flooring is better, both from a heating and comfort perspective.
I have neither so I can't say. However, the Admiral is making noises about getting new floor covering for the aisle in our 22 (the boat came with some carpet laid there), so I am starting to look at possibilities. I'll probably end up doing the cockpit as well. |
