Default Non skid options?

What do you guys think is the best non skid. Has anyone used linex or other bed liner? I have done the awlgrip w/ griptex before, but it was hard to keep clean.

I did the deck of my Tsunami with thickened gel coat.It is a super non skid.I think I could get a running start with fish slime in the deck,and still not slip.

However,I thickened it up a bit to much,so it's a very aggressive non slip.If you did fall on it with shorts on,there would be a bad case of road rash.
It's also a bit difficult to keep clean.If I did it again,I'd knock the texture down a bit with a dry roller before it cured.

I used Linex on my 20 and I am very happy with it so far. It is a little on the costly side but nothing is too expensive for a seacraft.

I just finished looking at a spray on truck bed liner as a nonskid coating for a dive platform. Decided against it for two reasons. It would be great non-skid, maybe too good. Hard to get it smooth enough for my use. Also, I saw a piece that had been out in the weather for several years. The sun had worked on it pretty hard.

look at sea-dek, good stuff and pretty inexpensive cutting yourself and buying 4x8 sheets, easy to clean and soft too.

Go rougher than you initially think you need. Injuries due to slipping on a wet boat deck are costly, painful, and often un-fixable (speaking from personal experience).
