Hello and thank you for posting about your new Flexiteek deck on Elli Yacht. We love the look of it in our bleached colour option. Great choice for a beautiful boat. Thank you for all your lovely comments about Flexiteek. It is very much appreciated. Best wishes, The Flexiteek team (Steve Moore - Global Marketing Manager).
That looks absolutely eye-catchingly brilliant and will add to the value of Elli-Yacht. You picked the top-of-the-line synthetic teak, and you will never regret doing it right and well. I do really like the black caulking look and at some pointe would like to replace the current white caulking for black on my yacht. Have a great week u2!
Thank you Phil! We always look forward to hearing your thoughts. We struggled with the caulk color and even considered grey since it’s a bit more contemporary but, classic black won out.
Seven years ago I went with PlasDeck, simple maintenance & great look. I wish I would have listened to the installer and went with the lighter color, my choice was way hot in the sunlight.
Looks sharp and should last quite a while! I love that y'all all all about doing things 'right' - that's a pretty rare thing nowadays. Keep up the great educational videos!
That looks amazing! New subscriber here. I'm considering synthetic teak for the deck on my Trophy 2102, and this really helped. I'm up in Bellingham, so not too far away! Maybe we'll see you guys in the islands. Cheers!
Also I did the flexi-teak on my boat in the cockpit and swim step. It was pretty warm in the Bahamas but not really any warmer than real teak. If you get a stain you cant clean- then lightly sand it.
Just to let you know we just confirmed our bow thruster repair with David Kraft and expect to have it done in the next month or so. Thanks so much for sharing that experience with us.
That close-up shot where you were sanding the white caulking off, looked like real teak. We have come such a long way since I recall the first synthetics.
I've heard some stories about Flexiteek not lasting a year for boats in Florida... as I'm looking into our options, I came across your video. How would you say it is holding up after 6 months?
It still looks beautiful and is holding up great! In Washington state we don’t get the same heat as you do in Florida but it doesn’t get hot on your feet 👍
Looks great. I've been getting a variety of synthetic samples trying to figure out what to do and who to do it. I'd like DIY, but I'm concerned about not doing it well. A fellow Navigator owner got real teak and holly done at Baja Naval, and he loves his results.

No. Much more better is permeteek.

Thank you for the props and encouragement Randy!

Glad this helped! It’s tough finding info out there on synthetic teak… we look forward to seeing you on the water!
Looks beautiful, I’m anxious to hear how easy it is to clean a deck brush. Thank you for the video.
I just did that today. I was surprised it cleaned as easily against the grain in tight corners as well as with the grain in the main field.
Also I did the flexi-teak on my boat in the cockpit and swim step. It was pretty warm in the Bahamas but not really any warmer than real teak. If you get a stain you cant clean- then lightly sand it.

I'm just learning about my top screwed teak. Possibly original '78.
That close-up shot where you were sanding the white caulking off, looked like real teak. We have come such a long way since I recall the first synthetics.
It’s crazy right? We’ve had 10+ people tell us that they wouldn’t know if we didn’t tell them!
Were there any issues reseating any of the latches or other hardware with the extra width of the flexiteek?
We have the same system and same color. Still looks great after 6 years! You can also clean with a SS grill brush........
That is the best news I’ve heard all day! Thank you for sharing.

When did you get the new dink? I just bought a highfield sport 390 for our boat- which one did you get? How do you like it?
We went with the 360. I would have much preferred the 380 with the 60hp but, it was jut to long for our beam.

Considering how hard PVC can be made, why can't they make a less floppy, harder more teak-like product?
Sorry comment was premature i guess about the sanding- cant see it to delete it
Trouble is anything thats polymer is always going to be hot underfoot. Wood breathes and is cool.
I am completely broke but I am watching a rabbit hole of which synthetic decking is best for a yacht. lol
Watch this. Solid advice to get out of the cycle that keeps people broke. th-cam.com/video/tD3BpmsPPjE/w-d-xo.html
The best is permateek.
