I seem to always have some sauce on a shirt so I'm practiced on stain removal.

I use the dawn soap and a electric toothbrush on stains at home and I don't think ive ever lost the battle with a stain. The gazillion brushes a minute makes a big differance. I've used the brush on simtex with no damage. Good luck

I love the style and softness of floor, have never had a heat issue (I do have a huge double bimini) the staining sucks though. A new boat down the street has same issue and it’s only 5-6 months old.

They are replacing the floor. The staining seems to get worse from time to time and never goes away. I am waiting till October or so to replace floor. They ship it to South Carolina for the work.

It had twin Yamaha 400’s and the joystick was added after market. Helmmaster I believe is the Yamaha name. They ended up canting the engines outward so the props couldn’t hit each other. The sales guy said the lower unit on one had a crack and he figures it’s the stress of having the engine...

I looked at a used one. The extra space was all on the front, outside of the seating area. Therefore, it had no more space (fore and aft) than an 28’ inside the gates. Of course it had more room from side to side. I passed when the salesman pointed out the aftermarket joystick disaster. I...

Your pictures look very similar to my issue. My boat has been stuck on a lift since last August. When I brought it down the other day, the rear floor stain is almost gone but now boat has staining in the front. Not a clue what is going on. The dealer said last July they were going to replace it...

I’m in Sarasota Fl area and I have it. Boat looks brand new (except where factory folks missed). I keep boat on a lift and spray it off every time after use and spray it from time to time anyway. We get heavy salty air all the time. I would get it again, just make sure it’s all covered with...

My factory shark hide application was done well either. I may ask for it to get fixed, I pointed it out on delivery and we agreed to look issue at 100 hr mark.

use a fuel pump and disconnect the fuel line where convient and pump it out.

“I don’t think you’re understanding his point. The boat was designed for what’s on there. All you are going to do is force the front down further in the water, the rear ain’t going anywhere. It’s not going to change like a fulcrum point (see-saw). You now increase the potential drag AND increase...

Put a sheet of plywood on top of that mat and it’s perfect.

Foam sandwiched between plywood is the common thing in Sarasota. It’s kinda heavy. But cheap. Very stable.

My bilge pumps dumps into the motor bay area, well or whatever you call that. It’s up high right next to plywood. Turn bilge on and start filling up from a hose. Also a good way to check the auto too, note, it takes a ton of water to activate.

Zipper lube from Walmart. Non-staining. A tube will last years. I use it on snaps and hinges too.
