I really like vinyl (in fact, I special ordered my last boat with vinyl) but it only takes a tiny dab of ice to make it super slick.

Just recently purchased mine from pontoonstuff.com They had the best price and a better quality than many others I looked at. The only problem was in shipping. I needed it fast and they were a bit slow to ship. Stuff looks great, may be a better material carpet than what came new in my Skeeter boat.
May want to consider bunk boards on your trailer as well. I wished I would have ordered it with my other carpet.

Re carpeting is a royal PITA. A buddy decided he was gonna use the vinyl in his 1860 JON figuring it would be easier to clean and maintain. After talking with the material supplier, he ended up with a supposedly lightweight non slip foam. Really easy to install and looked great and had the added plus of being non absorbant which for frog gigging (his favorite past time) he felt would be ideal.

Finished the install in a short evening and him and his sons planned a gigging trip for the next evening. Launched the boat and it almost sunk. Turns out his foam was not all that lightweight at 425#. It was quiet he admitted but looking out the transom. only had 1" of free board which was not safe at all for the river and even many of the larger lakes he frequents.

He tore it out and went with spray on bed liner. Saved about 300#

So be careful what you ask for!
