My Seadek kit was the Camel Tan with Black trim on the 2013 PA and Camel Tan with Brown trim on the 2012 PA. Everyone has their own colors that suit them, but I thought the Camel color would go well with the three colors the PA comes in. If you look through the SeaDek threads you should find plenty of pictures. At work and cannot post from here...lol.

I ordered samples of all but a few of the colors. I like the camo a lot and that was my favorite color PA as well but i read it shows scratches very easy and it is also a dark color that would generate heat out in the sun on the water. I don't think it will look to great on the Ivory Dune color. I'm thinking about doing mine with the Faux Teak (Mocha over Black) but not sure what i will do just yet. The black looks good on the dune as well but i don't want the extra heat it will generate . Gray is just that gray but the snow camo may look ok...

My first preference was to do the white camo with the black trim. The dark colors in SeaDek do not generate much or anymore heat than the lighter colors. That's one of their selling points about the material. I'm sure you will enjoy whatever color combo you end up with. I've had mine installed for about 14 months now and fish out of the PA on average of at least once a week. Could not be happier with the material.

Dark colors will always generate more heat, especially black. Doesn't matter what material it is made of. Snow camo outlined in black sounds good !

Got my samples. I'm liking the snow camo, mocha and black teak, and the gray and black teak the best. The army camo doesnt look very good at all against the ivory. Also like the mocha and camel teak. Going to get the snow camo sample dirty and see how well it cleans up...

That is a really nice looking kit. It is making me re-think my planned purchase of a papaya colored PA14. I don't see many color combos that appeal to me with yellow color but your combo looks sweet.

Well done!


Bimini Blue, that is what I am ordering for my Papaya PA14, it will make it look very tropical :-)
