Non Skid flooring

[stoked not]

Folks,<br /><br />I have a 1987 18 ft Manatee. that has the original flooring material. The floor seems solid but the non skid material on the surface is shot. I here there are some spray on flooring that is pretty good. The one thing I don't want is indoor/outdoor carpeting. Can anyone recomend a product and source.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Stoked

Ahoy, Stoked Not. This may sound weird, but think about it before you laugh it off. <br /><br />Go to Pep Boys, NAPA or some other auto/truck supply house and get consumer installed "Rhino" type truck bed lining, in the color of your choice. I think they offer both brush-on and roll-on versions of the stuff. Weatherproof, non-slip, and soft enough to be quiet.<br /><br />I have seen this done on deck boats and 'toons and it is marvelous.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB

J.B. I wish I had seen this question a couple weeks ago. I just bought a gallon of Non Skid paint and painted the interior of two alum. V hulls. It worked great but I could have saved some money. Ran into a friend yesterday who also went to Kragen's and bought their pick up bed paint and it came out great, Price?, two cans, $16.00.<br /><br />Happy boating all, Hal

Hey chum,<br /><br />Just make sure it's clean, clean, clean. Might help to wipe it down with some acetone or tulol first to make sure you get a good bond.

Re: Non Skid flooring

I've never seen it in lighter colors either, that's why I have not used it in my Lowe Roughneck. I have an aluminum deck attached to the tops of the floor ribs. It is duck boat green, and it gets pretty hot on sunny days.<br /><br />J.B and others, do they make it in light grey or off white?

Re: Non Skid flooring

the black doesn't get hot; check out the bed of a pickup on a hot day/ it's just a little bit warm. the stuff does come in other colors though. I've seen white and grey.
