Re-doing aluminum boat, need ideas

Post by Redbelly »

I am ripping out the weather worn carpet in a boat I just bought. I want to put something else down besides carpet. Something that washes down easily, and is cooler than the bare metal.

I have a gallon of ruberized non slip paint, but not sure I want to do the whole inside with it.

Anybody got some ideas? :D

The place I got my boat from suggested that I get Styx River Mats. He said that they "...are the best made", :roll: but then again we all know how salesmen are! :lol:

When you get some seadek MD, then you can comment. Get some for the inside of the car for your dog to keep his feet cool when you lock him in while your in the waffle house :lol: . besides, your feet won't tell the dif. between old school camo and new fangled
