Also I am thinking of using 1" Starboard AS (Anti Skid) material for the fuel tank cover in my 1977 Outrage 21 and also to make a casting platform with the remainder of the sheet. My neighbor is a commercial plastics fabricator and I will get it at cost.
Has anyone used this material?
I read posts about regular Starboard failing as a decking material and being rather slippery.
Any other millable materials to use for the cover?

The swim platform on my 16-foot Whaler, made by by Martin Marine Design (a sponsor of this site) uses that material. It is not at all slippery with wet feet.

starboard is heavy and will warp over time if unsupported. cleans up great though.
