    I had the same situation. I was looking at new boats and noticed how many were just painted with non slip paint so I pursued that idea. Glad that I did and couldn't be happier with my results. I used this and it came from Lowes.

    @ silverside How much prep is required, prior to usage?

    Use Behr All in One wood Cleaner first. Then Behr PREMIUM PLUS® No. 436 Multi-Surface Primer & Sealer. Then ready to paint.

    I used it on new osb sheets. I should have mentioned that earlier.

    I in the process of installing that very same Seadeck knock-off... it feels great and I think it will hold up decently. I had had a painted deck, an aliphatic urethane from many years ago... it had an epoxy barrier coat, then macropoxy 646, then a couple of years later, the aliphatic urethane. The urethane was failing (it was arround 13 years old). I am using the EVA foam along with some Durabak 18 where I'm painting. I am using the Durabak 18 (smooth) to seal the edges of the EVA foam to floor joint.... it think that will help minimize any water getting under it... My decks are not a fiberglass gel coat type, originally they were sprayed chop fiberglass with the speckles over wood. It is a rolled hull rather than a liner... Name:  Image.jpg

    Here is a pic of the 3m adhesive I added. Also the paint I am using on the interior hull and compartments. Also used the Durabak on my Aluminum T-Top which was pitted. It is now all white. I'll make a post on that...
    Next is an edge that has some paint up to it
    Next includes a horizontal seam, visible. The lineal seams blend well.
    I overlapped and double cut the seams. I'll try to upload a video sample of doing that.

    The tan floor is a knock off of seadeck, the blue portions are real seadeck. The real seadeck does seem like slightly better quality. I put the blue seadeck on the hatches and am using it for the helm pad area as well. Probably a few miscellaneous places as well, depending on how much I have left over.

    I used 54" vinyl wallpaper to make templates. (The wallpaper i had around so I used it, you could use the 33" floor paper painters use, available at any paint store for about $11 bucks a roll...) I rough traced my outline onto the wallpaper and hand cut it out with scissors. I then traced the template on the back of the eva foam and hand cut that with scissors. Not a pro method by any means but it worked.
    I went out on the boat today, taking five teens and my dog out tubing. It held up well and sure was nice to not have a slippery surface. I think the dog appreciated it the most. Not a problem at all with the dog paws, but i do keep her nails trimmed well.
    It sure cleans up easy also.
    I still have to do one more hatch and the helmpad as well as more painting.
    The paint is moisture cure urethane with a xylene base. I pour off some and top off the container with a little xylene before sealing. I also thin with the xylene and store the leftover thinned a little. It kills brushes so plan to throw them away as you go. It doesn't have great wet or dry hide either, BTW, but it does seem like it will hold up decently. If it gets on something, it doesn't like to come off except for *unprimed* Aluminum. I'll go into that when I write up my t top project. I wore paint on my hands and arms *to* work for a few days after my first round with it.
    So far, i am happy with the project. Definitely like the functionality of the floor.Name:  20200810_191457.jpg

I'm heavily considering using a marine grade roll on bedliner specifically the durabak product. It's supposedly got uv inhibitors to keep it from fading and the grit is some kind of a processed rubber. The coast guard and navy have approved it for use as a non skid coating for wet areas so I'd think it'd shed fish slime like a champ. Has anyone on here ever used this product, or any bedliner type coating on their boat? Opinions on doing so? Here's a couple pics of the durabak
    the boat i want to buy has it applied to it ......makes it heavier but it will last a long time and is easy to maintain
