I just bought a lowe 1648 big jon and I want to put a wood floor in that rests on the boats ribs, but i dont want to use carpet. I want to use wood flooring with some kind of non-skid coating just for wood. I was thinking about using the rustoleum restore product. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Welcome. I don't have any suggestions, but I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I used Restore on my decks and floor and its great. Non-slip and can be washed. I've had it for a couple of years now and would use it again if needed. Enjoy!
 
Thanks for your advice dejamat, thats what I wanted to hear, also can anyone tell me what chemical number for steelflex is the best to use on aluminum boats, and can anyone give me some advice on using it? Thanks
 
I just used spar urethane on my floor (and benches) and I've never slipped... even when I'm lucky enough not to track sand in when we launch. :roll:
People spend a lot of money on teak swim platforms; to me it's the same thing.

What color/brand of green is that? I assume it is Olive Drap but what brand. Where did you get it?

That is krylon camo paint and the color is olive...not the olive drab...I purchased the paint from advance auto parts it's like 7$ a can
 
Finally got to do some more work on my boat tonight. I was able to run wires for the running light through 1/2" electrical pvc conduit and install light bases at front and back of boat.

Got all the wiring done on my boat and everything is operating correctly. Steelflex came in yesterday along with the rustoleum deck restore product that I ordered. Now i can do the floor and hopefully it will come out as planned. The steel flex will be a summertime project when Im using a smaller boat in the river. Now some pics...

How did you secure the PVC conduit to the boat?

The pvc actually secures itself. The fit is so tight that u have to use a hammer to move it between the rib of the biat and the gunnel.
