I would paint your casting deck, and put sand in the mix, or just put some grip tape down.

The other alternative is marine textured flooring vinyl which is execellent (roughly the same cost as marine carpet)

I will never put carpet in a fishing boat again.

Not a good idea if you have young kids, that stuff will sure take the hide of their faces or shins should they fall on it .
It can happen with adults also.

Plenty of boats have marine vinyl flooring.

This is what I was referring to, [I would paint your casting deck, and put sand in the mix, or just put some grip tape down. ]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to have to stop in to Outdoorfabricscanada the next time I'm in Barrie and check out the vinyl. It seems to be about the same price as marine carpet so I may go with that.

Do you glue it down like marine carpeting?
