Plasdeck blows away flexiteek in my view. It's a much more natural looking product. It is easier to sand if it gets scratched or repair.
Flexiteek turns dark with age. It is harder than plasdeck and does not scratch as easily but it also does not sand as well as it is more plastic than plasdeck.
Since I haven't owned the flexiteek yet, I will need to see, but on looks alone, I like plasdeck. Just go look at old pics of both boats and you will see. Plasdeck looked more like real new teak and flexiteek looks like older more aged teak.
Both definately make a boat look sharp and hands down are better than carpet.
As for the enclosure, I just need to get straps made so I can roll it up. I enjoy sitting on back of boat as does Gizmo and this just kills that view!
As for the OTR or drive, again, once on truck, its on. If boat was not on a lake, it would be hands down the #1 option. But since it has to go on a truck and has to be moved, my first preference is to bring her home, where I can work on her, get her checked by local IPS mechanic, and make sure she is water ready. It may cost a little more this path, but I feel more comfortable. We all know what happened last time I shipped a boat to NJ! I don't want a repeat of that!
