[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 242716, member: 7025"] I would also nix the carpet idea for a couple of reasons. If you get in salt water, maybe not an issue for you, the carpet will hold salt which in turn will hold water and before long you have to deal with rot. Secondly, if you fish it, eventually you aren't going to be able to get rid of the fish slime and smell and the whole thing will get pretty nasty. There's a reason why the pros put their fish directly in the well. I doubt that a fish ever hits their boat's carpet. The material of choice for most boat builders is Nautolex. it comes in half a dozen colors, has a pebble-like non-skid characteristic and is easy to keep clean. It's not particularly cheap, but considering the utility you will get out of it compared to carpet at the same price, it may be the better way to go. I think something like astro turf would probably give you the same result as carpet. [/QUOTE]
