Did mine with Rhino liner 8 years ago and is good as new.

Deck kote from Home Depot. Rubberized paint for sundecks. It holds up for 3-4 seasons of tough use for me

Look at Kiwigrip its durable and easy to apply. It is sold by paynes marine

Good old fashioned gel coat

Just did KIWI grip it is awesome, easy to use and clean. Trotac also has it

If you are interested in Kiwigrip do a quick search on you tube. There is several videos showing different application techniques. Seems to be the easiest way to get a durable non skid deck.

I would stick with gelcoat as well. It can be sanded when it gets worn and re-applied over and over giving the deck a new again look. If I was buying a used boat that had a rubber floor applied I would automatically think it is there to hide something and would probably walk away. Just me.

+1 on the gel coat .....easy to apply with a roller

If the boat is older, mine I think is a 1970, the floor will show cracks a lot more than a newer one. I used to repair plywood and gelcoat once a year to stop seepage.
It was not fun. Since I had the rino liner sprayed in and up all sides a couple inches, all I do now is fish. No more itchy scratchy.

I'm seriously thinkin' bout' using that heavy garage-floor vinyl roll stuff they sell at Costco. It goes on sale for $150.00 or so and there's probably enough to do a couple or more average sized boats. That stuff is bullet-proof, impervious to oil/gas etc. and should provide good traction with all the dimple things on it.

My only concern is that it's quite dark in colour and might be a ***** in the heat of summer.

Forgot to mention the floor is glass over ply , just starting to wear through the glass Not sure if I should glass it then something overtop?
