Looking at buying some adhesive deck matting for an alloy trailer boat. So many choices. Want something that isn't ridiculously priced but wears well, adheres well and offers good grip. I could either cover the area in a series of strips or buy a square metre or so and cut it up. Can anyone advise?  cheers in advance

I’ve put some diamond deck down on the floor in my cockpit. After 2 years it’s still well adhered to the fiberglass floor. Soft comfortable to stand on, easy to keep clean I’d recommend it, one thing I have noticed is the relentless sun over here has degraded the pattern on top of the foam and it’s. Now smooth

I used warehouse rubber backed carpet.. Into it 5 or 6th yrs, Ave 25/30 trips a yr.
Don't worry about bait tramped in or careless bleeding of KY etc.
When put down it is very important to have the contact glue fully cover the area and follow the instructions exactly
If the glue doesn't fully cover, the little area that is not glued, if you stand on that and turn twist your foot it pulls that areas way from the rest. After a while this aera will stret h, bubble, get thin and rip.
After each trip I use a gone in 30 seconds detergent clip on hose 1l bottle with about 25% gt18 detergent... Foam up the whole boats D usually hose down the next day.
Couple times a yr I foam up and water blast the whole boat

Carpets are still near as new
