[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 418377, member: 21309"] Thanks for the advice Pappy, I will definitely look into the non-skid coatings I believe that on this Lone Star the entire interior was originally a tan with gray and black paint flecks; at least that is what I've found in presumably undisturbed areas in the nose (where it's tough to get a picture). I'd assume that there were non-skid pads glued down where you'd have foot traffic. My plan was to go with all tan interior, but I could go with a lighter tan top coat and then do the non-skid in a darker shade of tan perhaps. I did get a can of the Rust-Oleum spray on bed liner and am going to do a test panel of some sort, but I could definitely see where it might add a lot of weight and will have to factor that into my decision. On a side note, that's a pretty darn good looking Alumacraft you have there. I love the look of those boats with the aft steering station and the separate forward seating area and it looks like you've got yours in great shape. I'm on my way and I'd like to say I'll get there, but I don't know if mine is every going to be quite that polished. [/QUOTE]
