2002 Rinker 342 Fiesta Vee - Melors EVA Foam or Seadek?!

renrab

Hey guys,

Need someone experienced with Melors EVA to chime in - I've ordered Seadek in the past and it was very high quality stuff.

The price difference for the entire swim platform and cockpit is ~550$ difference give or take, EVA was 1100$ USD shipped, Seadek was 1600$ USD shipped.

Can anyone speak to the quality of Melors EVA? I am concerned that for 1/3 savings it may not last as long etc.

Thanks for any input!

Nicest thing about Sea Del is the professional cuts and in my case we did the Teak style so the edge has a border rather than lines off the edge of that makes sense. You can probably find an EVA of the same quality but again I like the fit and finish of something professionally cut.

I was actually quite a bit off, it's almost double the price by the time I included freight and custom logo options to the Seadek, anyone have anything good to say about Melors?

1219 after paypal shipping took 2 days after it was cut.
Swim platfrom not perfect, my platfrom is like the 06.
Communication is hard because of time difference and language barrier.
The cuts in the cockpit where very good.

Oh ok. I didn't realize Melors was a company that would cut it out. I thought it was just the rolls you cut yourself.

I would consider MarineMat versus SeaDek. I am very happy with ours and felt the quality is better than SeaDek And cooler.
