Yes, i've rubberized (that is what we call it here) my one small cabin cruiser, works well and cleans easily, just a thought ... I used black, and on those really hot days it gets really hot and can burn your feet ....

Xpress boats sell new boats with a similar coating and it looks great if you want a "utility" finish. Many people have used truck bed liner inside their boats. Makes a very durable surface.

There are companies that sell "colors" instead of black.

I've found 1 outfit that had Colors,.........
I'm leaning towards a Blue or Grey for the Decks of the New Houseboat......
I'm just having trouble figuring out which Texture I need.......
I Don't want it Too Slippery,.......
Yet not Near as Rough as the sole of my present fishing boat.......

And,..... Even though I Have the Spraying outfit to apply it,.....
I'm thinking Rolling it on Might be Easier.......

Sorry , for not replying sooner.

The durabak, stuff , I mentioned comes in alot of colors.

Im leaning towards the light grey.

The site has some good before and after pics on boats, some as big as a tug.

Looks great and the testimonials are all impressive.

It has a kit , that has the rollers and all included.

The site is www.durabak.com, If anyone wants to check it out.

I have Durabak on my boat. I put it down the beginning of this season. It's pretty good as anti skid coatings go. I used the Tan color as it matched my teak and other interior on my boat. Clean look, not too rough. I think it was a good choice. Don't be shy about the prep work. The surface must be sanded to a rough finish and cleaned well with Zylene prior to the coating application.
