My ex bro in law had a sea-ark that had the spray in vinyl floor. It was not slick as you might think and made cleanup a whole lot easier than carpet. I had a nice tracker 190tx with carpet and it was a b!tch to keep clean. I'll never have a boat with carpet again.

I have a 16 1/2 foot Alumacraft. The floor isn't marine carpet, not sure what the product is. It has a short rough finnish to it. It's pliable, washes up good and provides good traction when moving around in the boat. Cabela's handles it if you wanted to install yourself. Personally, I believe vinyl would be awful slick, perhaps causing slips or falls.

I have a family friend that put rhino liner(spray in truck bed liner) in the bottom of his "clamm digging" skiff. Which is aluminum, it was a little heavy, but worked awesome!!!! Washable, good traction, and durable! In a fiberglass situation I would recommend a product called non skid, which is similar to putting kitty-litter in the gel coat and rolling it on the floor. The only problem with non skid, is when you do fall, you need a skin graph. Good incentive to stay on your toes I guess! Good luck in what you buy!
