Non-slip deck coating

[InTheHole]

Last spring I put a new deck in a 17' aluminum boat we have, I used a rubberized paint called Tuff Coat (TUFF Coat Marine Ultra Tuff and Tuff Coat Marine Non Skid Coatings) and was very happy with the results. The non-skid is rubber pellets and has held up well so far. You can get this at Bass Pro

Goose,

I have been thining of using kiwigrip in my cockpit also. My deck is just fiberglassed plywood and the back halk has no gelcoat top since when i replaced the deck I used West System and glass and didn't put in any color tint in the West so the paint scrapes off kind of easy when sliding the livewell around.

So was going to sand it up and get a few quarts of Gray Kiwi. I was going to ask anyone if they ever used it but you beat me too it. It gets good reviews, looks easy to apply and you can vary your strokes for degree of finish.

I used Duraback on my boat and it was great! Not the cheapest but comes in colors and no need to prime, it lasted great even after the beating I gave it! The only thing is cleaning the floor is not the easiest if you don't stay on top of it, but some bleach and a good deck brush it cleans up well.
