I ordered mine from SeaDek last fall, and the logo was only an option to add. Not an auto-added thing. I of course chose to not have it.

I would be shocked if it's now a mandatory thing with SeaDek. I would just ask for it not to be included and see what they say.

So, my dealer recommended that I NOT use a mat on my swim deck, because that is the place everyone enters our boat and takes their dirty shoes off.
You guys feel that the Sea-Dek or other similar materials clean up just as easily as the factory white mat-less material?

For us it is shoes off before you ever step off the dock. If my boat is in storage, going in for any kind of mechanical work, or anything where people will be climbing in and out other than on the dock, I cover the deck with towels or plastic to keep it clean. It's pretty easy to clean, but I don't want any grease or nastiness tracked in. What you really have to watch out for is chunks of gravel in a shoe tread cutting it up.

We had no issues with staining or dirt on the platform last year... At least nothing that didn't easily come off. Shoes are supposed to be off but that doesn't always happen...

You know, it's interesting how every dealer has a different story. Mine said they strongly recommend against it as they have ongoing issues with the factory pads lifting due to adhesive failure. For me, it's the dog nails. I do wish I had it though
