The latest and greatest seems to be spray on bedliner material. My Lund came with a linoleum style rubbery covering on the floor but carpeting on the front casting deck and the tops of the side and rear storage areas. I've got 2wear spots on the floor and when it gets worse will remove the linoleum and add bedliner.

The end result looks great, but I was wondering what other coatings have been used on them?

I saw the Seadek product at a boat show earlier this year. It is very impressive looking.

I much prefer the vinyl. I got it from Defender Industries and simply screwed the sheet down onto two 1/4 inch pieces of exterior plywood, over the aluminum.
I used two pieces since I wanted to be able to get underneath without having to remove my side-console. It was also easier to do the fitting and to secure it that way.

On the carpeted boat, I will be covering the deck carpet with a roll-out foam anti-fatigue sheet from Harbor Freight. It is cheap enough, at $10.00 for a 6-foot long piece. I have no idea how well it will hold up but will find out soon. I hate the carpet since hooks and everything else gets hung up in it.

VERY EASILY usually with just a hose. Carpet not so much!
