Epoxy. Added silica sand for non-skid on the "catwalk" and tops of the exhaust risers, 'cause I step on them when the the hatches are open.

Hi David,
I like your bait table. Is it made from Starboard?
Also you mentioned that you use your exhaust manifolds as a step. Be careful doing this since it can cause exhaust leaks at the head over time.

On the bait table, I can't remember the letters that designate the material. I just call it "cutting board material". It easy to work with, UV stable, weldable, and never needs painting.
I used the same stuff on my swim deck, and it still looked good after 15 years, but I just replaced the swim deck with black "Seaboard", since the topsides (rubrail down to waterline) are now black. The seabaord is supposed to be even better.

WOW is that not going to get very hot on bare feet when in the sun?

Sometimes I wish it got that hot, but we're talkin' Alaska, if you know what I mean.
