Suggestions when doing repair on floor of 1965 Nauset to recreate the pattern? Alternately suggestion for a flooring cover for the entire floor.

As members have found out, the nonskid pattern for our boats is not available.

There are kits for making a template of the non-skid pattern. It is a fairly detailed task.

One product highly sited is Gibco's flex mold:

I (and some others) have used Dri-Dek tiles to cover the entire floor of both my boats. (see personal page for photos). I used the Almond color to compliment the Desert Tan gelcoat. I ordered via the manufacturer's website for the best price.

If doing a small section, it is quite simple to make your own mold, using a mold making material from a good section of your old floor.
