Agenda Surf has some very good options for traction on boats. They appear to have 4 texture patterns with 20 color options and combination of colors/patterns. Just click on the pattern to see the options

How do you plan on cutting to fit?

I used something similar on my boat and made a template with clear plastic that I had laying around work. I then traced it on the back side of the mat and cut with a razor blade. I want to Michaels and picked this up http://www.usartsupply.com/ItemDetail.aspx?ItemNo=ELM+X7747&gclid=CL7zxPWU8r0CFY17fgodUIwAvQ and made a nice 45 angle on the foam. I used Raptordeck http://www.raptordeck.com, which is a local company here in Seattle.

Here is the finished product. My bow light was not centered when it was put on that is why it looks off center. It is not the material. I am going to put on a Malibu flip up light and that should allow me to center it.

Thanks SDUKES. I looked at the AXIS bow pieces and was not excited about them so I came up with a different solution and am happy with the way it turned out. I went with the grey to blend with the interior of the boat. Just thought it would look better then the black in my opinion.

just my 2 cents.

the foam type referenced above will only last one season tops. It breaks down and degrades quickly. I used black on my last boat swim platform. After one month you would track black crap all over your interior after sitting on the platform. I recovered it a year later using sea deck. Its awesome stuff. I bought it in a large DIY sheet recovered the platform and all the trailer step pads. super durable and held up well. I used the "dot" pattern. The lesson I learned is good stuff is durable lasts a long time and cost money, cheap stuff obviously the exact opposite.

I might have enough left over if someone wants to do the 3 bow pieces. (light gray)

my vandal came with deck trac and its ok. Its not a quality issue as much as it is pretty rough. I wished they would just use custom sea deck like whats on that platform. It would look better, match and not be so rough. Im sure the deck trac will wear down a bit and be fine after a while.
