I spent some time on a friends 30' Baha Cruisers charter boat that he did over with Kiwigrip. He did it in a light tan color and it looks great. It made for a very good non slip surface.Not sure how hard it is to clean,but it couldn't be any worse than the thickened gelcoat that I used on my Tsunami.
I loved the non slip(thickened gelcoat) and the looks of the deck on the Tsunami when I first did it.I mean you couldn't slip no matter how hard you tried,even with fish blood and slime on it.
I actually made it a bit too agressive,(don't kneel on it with shorts on)
Now,about 5 years later,it looks terrible,and it is a bi-tch to clean.Maybe I used too much cabosil when I thickened the gel coat,because it has faded in a few areas,and if you don't wipe up any stains immediately they're almost impossible to get out later.
After seeing the Kiwigrip on my friends boat,I think i'll go the same route.
