Heinzir - Nice photos, nice installation of the DriDek and nice boat!

Here's what I've got so far:

DriDek pros: easy installation, cheaper than wood, maintainence-free
DriDek cons: not as aesthetically pleasing

In all honesty, if cost and wood-working weren't involved, I would almost certainly go with a handmade teak or cedar grate. But for ease and cost, the DriDek looks like it might be the way for me initially.
