We went back and forth in which shade of grey. We went with the darker tint after we saw that the mat can fade. We keep the boat on a covered lift, so hopefully that will cut down on the exposure. Will be hitting the water today for a while, should be 80 and sunny, will see how it does as far as heat.

Also if we went light we figured would show a lot of dirt, but with dark will show sand, cleaning required either way...

We like it either way

I’d offer having just put in the snap in on your exact boat the stick on is significantly easier to install. Adding the snaps to the mat requires an extra tool, marine mat will let you buy one from them or they are readily available online. I spent a fair amount of time lining up the snaps and in a couple spots I was off by a hair. Lastly I am having to replace a few of the original snap bases on the deck as they won’t connect well with the new snaps.

All that being said I like the utility of being able to pull the mats out completely for cleaning purposes.

I can send you my marine mat template if you’d like, just PM me, will save you a ton of time if you like the layout I came up with.

Looks great. I need to update mine on my 2014 220. What year is yours?
