Slightly higher - mine comes out to about $77 a square foot installed,
based on the preliminary estimate. The marina is going to prepare and
deliver a final quote before the work begins. I am looking at about
$7500 for the cockpit and gunnel areas.


Does that include removing the old teak decking? Or does your boat just have
gelcoated decks?

Just gelcoated non skid. The purpose of the Flexiteek is to reduce the
amount of reflected solar energy during the peak summer sun, plus add a
little warmth to a very white boat. I've been advised that the deck may
be hot to stand on in bare feet, but as is, the cockpit can become
uncomfortable to sit in when the sun is high. I used to use
indoor/outdoor carpets from Home Depot and it cuts down on the sunburns,
but it collects all kinds of dirt between the deck and the carpet.
