I have a 1983 marinette 39 foot aft cabin
What i am wanting to do is put a surface on the back deck, bridge, gunal and forward bow area that will not let passengers slip and fall in wet conditions.
I need something that will not break down from the enviroment exposure as well as add to the looks of the boat and not have a high maintenance to it.
I have looked into different liquid products that will seal holes and leave a non slip surface . But there is some problems with some adheasives. This is my first time dealing with this and i want it to be the right choice.
If there is any one who has dealt with this issue, i would greatly appriciate any tips on what i can do . I have looked into the dri-deck issue but the price is very high for that product unless some one has a connection for a lower price on that product
Thank You
Joseph Favier

There seems to be two systems used most often by members of this forum. One method uses a propriatary non-slip additive (or sand) mixed in with a 2-part epoxy paint such as Awlgrip or Imron. The paint manufacturers discourage the use of sand for several reasons. The other method is the Durabak paint which has rubber particles mixed in already. I bought a gallon and will test it on the swim platform before I decide whether to put it on the rest of the deck: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts-Accessories_Boat-Parts-Accessories-Gear__Durabak-18-NonSlip-Smooth-Marine-Paint-Quart-16-colors_W0QQitemZ260273741766QQddnZPartsQ20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQadnZBoatQ20PartsQ2cQ20AccessoriesQ20Q26Q20GearQQddiZ2811QQadiZ2823QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260273741766&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&timeout=1218743324263

We just finished doing a paint job on the DECK, COAMINGS, AND GUNNELS. Wrote a "how to" for your reading pleasure. Here's an excerpt: From the step plates forward it was a coat of Brightside Y4359-White (thinned 10%) and Interlux Intergrip nonskid compound (4 oz per 20 oz paint) followed by another thinned coat with Intergrip nonskid compound (2 oz per 20 oz paint).The paint job turned out nice. You can see the non-skid in the picture. Hope this helps. Dennis

We used Petite non-skid. Looks nice and, if waxed, cleans up readily; and, no, the wax does not make it slippery.

I just covered my deck with DuraBak 180 (www.cotelind.com). They have a smooth non-skid and a textured version as well. I chose the smooth to make cleaning easier. I applied it with a spray gun and 1 gal was enough for 4 coats. I had to wait as few days after the first two coats for the weather to clear. The jury is still out on the durability and cleanability but it is definately a good surface for non-skid.

Joe:
I'm confused. I thought the textured was non-slip but not the smooth.

DuraBak has both the textured (rubber granules added) and smooth. I have not got to try out the surface on a rolling, pitching deck but it seems non-skid enough on the trailer. I will be able to post more later this year and most importantly next spring after the tarp pulling and clean up. Leaves have a nasty way of staining surfaces and I hope this urathane holds up to them. Between the first two coats and the second two I had to do a little sanding where I got a little over zelous. The sub structure looks like the structure of neoprene rubber with zillions of little air cells.
