Landau 1256 Casting Deck Mod

[trevormlb]

Ive been lurking for a while, looking at all the posts and mod designs. I really like yours, but had a question. Did you cover the deck in any type of carpet or nonskid material? It seems like the aluminum would get slippery when wet. Have you had any issues with that?

Yeah, it can get slick. I'm looking at putting down durabak 18https://www.nonslipcoating.com/ . That's why I used SS bolts to attach the platform to the boat. That way I can take off the whole thing before painting it. If you want to go cheaper just paint it with a aluminum paint and put down some sticky shower grippers. Whatever you do make sure you use a light color on the deck to keep it cool.

I like that the whole deck is removable. Can you post a few close up pictures or details on how you attached the deck to the boat? What type of hinges did you use?
