I used the stuff Falcon Marine sells, which worked out pretty well. You want the stuff with a 3M adhesive already on the decking.

Raptordeck looks like a good alternative, they may have a kit that fits your boat which will save a ton of time: http://www.raptordeck.com/

I'd go for the diamond plate look and in black, which doesn't stain as easily as the other colors.

I have been looking into adding some non skid too. What does Falcon Marine sell. I was considering the Hydroturf because I have heard good things about it.

We sell kits for modern Nacras for around $150, don't underestimate the time it takes to cut into a pattern and bevel the edge!
But for any other boat you can buy a sheet for around $100 ($30 to add Pressure Sensitive Adhesive PSA), in the past when I priced anything else it was much more expensive.

So for around $150 it would be shipped to me cut to fit a 2001 NACRA 450?

I'm tempted to purchase a kit for a NACRA 570 and make some manual adjustments to adapt it to my old 5.7. How do you put in an order for a precut 570?

HULLFLYERHydroturf or Seadek

They are about the same IMO.

I am a hydroturf dealer and can offer a small discount from their online pricing.

Would you have a pre cut kit for a 2005 Nacra f18
The 2005 has different size dagger boards
They are approx 9 inches wide instead of 8 inches like most Nacrasi
