Sears has these big workout mats on sale for 11 bucks. It says on the site 4'x6' but mine was bigger at 4'x8'. You get get the online price in the store you just have to remind them. The material is 3/16" thick and very similar(maybe 15% smooshier) to the EVA waffle foam murrays sells that I have on my other boats. I was doing the entire deck on my NACRA and compared to hydro turf or any alternative this is a great deal. Even cheaper than the industrial foam places online I was going to order a roll from. I could probably do the decks and rails on almost 2 boats with one roll.
The diamond texture is slightly slippery compared to the underside so I just took an angle grinder with a sanding disk on it to the diamonds so I could glue it face down and use the bottom side thats already smooth. Defintely feels good on the boat and has good traction.
I used Weldwood contact cement to hold it down, which is the same glue murrays sells in their foam kits. It's been holding my other foam on for over 2 years so should be good. Lowes has it. The small can is enough.
