I'm a little biased, but here are some pictures of SeaDek installed. The camel and black SeaDek on the 2013 PA14 is almost 3 years old. No issues at all. Almost 15 hours a week on that SeaDek for 2 years.

That looks really nice! I think I heard somewhere that they can no longer do Hobie or Pro Angler logos due to copyright bs. I also barley see that one piece style like that. Most of the pics I seen have a bunch of little pieces for that front half. I also was looking at OceanGrip mainly because of the one piece style (and the price).

The Hobie logos were used on mine as I got written permission from Hobie to use them. If you want the rod/reel log with "Pro Angler" minus the Hobie "H", I gave SeaDek permission to use it for other folks. They do not have permission to use my exact logo with the "H". The full front deck piece is considered a custom piece. It is more cost effective for SeaDek to break up the front floor area into smaller pieces. You can make more smaller pieces out of a 44X77 inch sheet of material.

Tombsy - That looks very nice! :mrgreen:

I prefer the Seadek....Had it in other kayaks and holds up extremely well and have had no problems. Below are some pictures of my Hobie PA14 with the Seadek installed.

I have the Marine Mat in my Outback and the Seadek in my Pro Angler. I think there pretty much the same product however, there are 2 styles (dimpled and brushed). The dimpled is pretty easy to clean. The brushed has been a pain in my experience. The brushed version is more porous so blood and such absorbs easily. The dimpled is smoother and not as porous and easier to clean.
