"offers dramatic improvement in terms of looks and performance…"
I love wood on boats. I grew up with a boat that had beautiful teak decks and seats in the cockpit. It looked great. To this day, wood decks turn my head. However, I remember my father spending hours and hours maintaining the decks. If you ever dropped an oily potato chip on the teak, you were at risk of being keel hauled. There must be a better way…
This is what first caught my attention with DEK-KING. DEK-KING is the practical alternative to wooden decking that offers modern day advantages including:
- Great looks
- Non-skid surface
- Easy maintenance
- Low cost
DEK-KING is a decking system from Wilks Mfg. LTD that is made from outdoor grade PVC that is UV stabilized so it’s durable and stands up to the elements, your feet, dropped winch handles and even potato chips! The annual maintenance is easy, regular washings and cleanings, that’s it. Less maintenance means more time for enjoying your boat. 
DEK-KING can be fitted over just about any surface as an up-grade, it adheres to surfaces including GRP, steel and wood. DEK-KING is flexible and will easily fit contoured or non-flat surfaces.There is a safety element as well to the DEK-KING system. The grained design non-skid surface offers outstanding footing, even when wet. This is an often overlooked advantage to deck upgrades on older boats.
Although DEK_KING is relatively easy to install, to get the best results, it’s recommended that a certified installer/fitter to the installation. However, for the confident DIYer, DEK-KING provides detailed instructions and it’s certainly a job that can be done by the handy boat owner.
DEK-KING is also a very cost effective improvement. The materials and installation fees will typically run you around $50/sq. ft. This will vary a bit depending upon the complexity of the install (curves, hatches, details, boarders, etc). All in all, short money for a significant aesthetic and performance improvement.DEK-KING is one of those rare products that offers dramatic improvement in terms of looks and performance. If you are looking for a way to freshen up an older boat there are few things that you can do for this amount of money that will have the same impact.
