I did my cockpit sole about 5 years ago. Still looks great. I am a OEM kind
of guy, and it looks and feels like original. Two suggestions, 1. Practice a
little on a piece of plywood to get the feel for texture you want. 2. Get a
bunch of paint chips from Home Depot, etc. to match your color and they will
tint for free, at least mine did.Took less than one quart.Bill WalkerC & C

the results. I only needed a liter and my wife and I had an easy time applying
it. About $50 at Defender. Dave

Hey Tom, Do you remember how many gallons of Kiwi Grip were used on your 35
and what they cost? Thanks, Chuck S

it went on easily. I can’t say how long it held up since we got 5 footitis and
got Alera within a year or two.

Any thoughts about Kiwi grip?.
Relatively cheap, easily applied and tinted by DIYers and it holds up well.

I bought the same stuff off Amazon a few years ago that George referenced
above. It was such a nice change and from a grip, comfort, and cooling
standpoint. I will say that the grey layer on top is thin and became unbonded
to the black substrate below, eventually falling off completely. This may have
been from sun/rain exposure over the two years. The black substrate makes up
the bulk of the thickness and is the EVA foam I believe. While it is still
comfortable and slip resistant, the aesthetics are not ideal. I rubbed off what
grey was left and now the aesthetic is a uniform black. I have considered
re-applying with a solid color grey or similar and not the faux weathered teak.
I can not justify at this time the Raptor Deck expense, but would say that it
is a superior product. I do think this budget material would work great down
below and would have many benefits. The only caveat being that dust and grit
obviously will seek the low point in the profile and so you will probably need
a dustbuster handy in lieu of the standard dust pan. KD

Bruno,
I offer this as a thought, I purchased some of this material as a test,
planning to remove it and buy the real expensive stuff, because I was
concerned how it would hold up under the stress of my dog. An active retriever.
I was amazed how good it has worked and in-fact bought some more to finish the
job.

Subject: Stus-List Seadeck / Raptor deck eva foam for cockpit
Hi,
The cockpit antiskip is long overdue on our 1987 33-2 and even with really good
deck shoes it is now just unsafe. Our plan is to cover the cockpit sole,
benches and bridgedeck with 5 mm light grey. The templates are made and both
companies (Seadeck and Raptor) do custom work. You send theme the templates and
they send you a quote. But before i send them my precious templates, I would
like to have a ballpark estimate, anybody on the list that have done the same
and could give me a rough estimate. It could be from a C&C 29 to a let's say 37.
I have sailed on boats where the cockpit sole was covered with Raptor deck as
antiskid. I loved the feel of it and the grip is really good and more comfy. I
would prefer this to paint.
I know i could also buy a sheet of the same stuff and cut it myself, but i want
it to look professional if the price is not outrageous.
Thank you!
