Aluminum boat - windknot - 07-09-2009

I picked up a 14' Mirrocraft and have noticed that the floor is extremely slick. Does anyone know of a good paint that will last and that has some grit to it? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Cabelas sells a paint for that very purpose, In many colors. It is located in the boating section of their catalog.

I went to Autozone and picked up a gallon of paint on truck bed coating in black. I cleaned the inside of the boat with some good degreaser and then applied the truck liner. I've had it on for about 6 years now and it looks great. The black keeps the snow/ice off and it gives you sure footing. I think I paid about $70, but it was well worth every penny. Oh, and one added benefit, it silences the hull so if you drop something you're not spooking every fish within a mile of your boat! Oh, one gallon covered the bottom of my 16' aluminum boat perfectly.
