Windex with ammonia worked well. Nothing else needs to be done before install. No sanding required. I installed it myself. GatorStep is a bit forgiving. The instructions state it can be peeled up once during install without issue. I had to peel up my swim deck piece once to realign. That was 3 yrs ago and I haven't had any problems with it. It has worn very well and in the water much of the time when on the water. I installed the GatorStep on the floor last spring and very happy with the results. I did get an air bubble that was discovered after it was in the heat of the sun. I used a sharp razor blade to pop the bubble and pressed it down. That work great. Follow their install directions and it isn't hard to do yourself. If you have any questions, just reach out. It really improves the look.

That really turned out well. What colors did you end up going with? I'm looking at similar, looks like you have "silver cloud", with "navy" bottom color. I wasn't going to do the laser etching, but it looks great on your boat.

1) Marine Mat for the swim deck and anchor locker (keep Seagrass in boat)
2) Sand the texture down with my sander focusing on the outer edges primarily, but if it’s going ‘smoothly’, then I’ll hit it all
3) Using the color scheme below (Titanium color, Deep Blue etching) and same design layout as my old boat, but updating the name to ‘Our Last Boat’ w/7 slash marks (wife says I can’t use ‘Full Quiver’ for anymore boats)

Pics? Looking to replace the swim platform on our R5 as well. Interested to see your thoughts on Marine Mat vs. Gator Step/Sea Dek. Did you have to pre-measure or did they already have the templates?
