Why EVA over carpet
Marine carpet holds water, grows mildew, and traps fish scales and sand. EVA rinses clean with a hose, doesn't absorb water, stays 20–30°F cooler than dark carpet in summer, and won't rot the plywood subdeck underneath.

EVA Flooring Kits
Cool underfoot. Custom to your deck.
Custom-templated EVA foam flooring for any deck. Non-slip, UV-stable, and forgiving on bare feet — and on dropped tackle, phones, or cold drinks. We template, cut, and install kits for wake boats, pontoons, center consoles, and bass rigs. A typical kit runs around $1,800–$3,000 depending on boat size, coverage, and any custom engraving.
What's included
- 3D template of your exact deck — no generic kits
- Faux-teak, carbon-fiber, or solid-color foam options
- Brushed or diamond non-slip surface textures
- Pre-cut, peel-and-stick install with 3M PSA backing
- Optional logo, boat name, or hailing port engraving
- Chamfered edges and routed seam lines for a factory look
How it works
- 1
Template
We come to you (or you drop the boat) and template each deck panel with rigid backer so the fit is perfect to the trim.
- 2
Design
Pick base color, accent stripes, pattern direction, and any engraved logo. We send a digital proof before any foam is cut.
- 3
CNC cut
Cut on a CNC router from closed-cell EVA with a chamfered edge profile so the panels look molded, not stuck on.
- 4
Install
Old flooring removed, deck cleaned and degreased, panels dry-fit, then PSA backing is exposed and rolled down. Most boats are a 2–3 hour job.
The details
Patterns and color options
Two-tone faux teak is most popular on wake boats. Carbon-fiber pattern looks great on darker hulls. Solid colors (light gray, sand, navy) give a clean modern look. We can run accent stripes, custom logos, or a hailing port on the swim platform.
Long-term durability
Quality EVA holds up 8–10 years with normal use. The PSA backing we use is 3M VHB-grade — it does not lift at seams when the deck heats up in the sun. If a panel ever fails, single panels can be replaced without redoing the whole kit.
FAQ
- Will the adhesive damage my deck?
- No. PSA backing removes cleanly with heat. Many customers redo their EVA every several seasons to refresh the look.
- Can you do my swim platform with a logo?
- Yes — engraved logos and hailing ports on the swim platform or bow are one of our most-requested upgrades.
- How much for a typical wake boat?
- Most 21–23 ft wake boats land in the $1,800–$3,000 range fully installed, depending on coverage, pattern complexity, and any custom engraving.
