I used Kiwi Grip on both my 19 and 25 restorations. It's a good product, it adheres to the fiberglass well, it's a good non slip, and you can play around with going white or a complimenting color. I went white on the 19 and it's a good match for the bright white gel coat, the 25 I used the tan over the bright white gel coat. I actually prefer the white on white and may eventually change the 25.

What I've noticed is that it won't stand any scraping action from deck chairs sliding or anything with a sharp edge. When applied thick, with a high texture, it's hard to clean, but a thin coat heavily rolled out provides good traction, and an easy to clean surface. The downside is you need to go white on white.
