I bought the 4 pack, 2'x2', grey color in Home Depot for about $15. Use one in the boat the others in the garage at the work bench. They work very well. Just got back from Punta Gorda Fl. last night. Shoveled snow this morning in NJ........winter stinks.

I haven't used Seadeck products, but I am impressed with what I've read about them. Here's a link to what I'm considering for my helm (once I get to that point with the project):

While not an anti-fatigue mat per se, I found Dri-Deck squares are an improvement on the deck.

I liked them so much, I did the entire floor and anchor locker of my 1987 Montauk and 1991 Outrage 17.
You can see it how it looks in the Montauk http://picasaweb.google.com/CascoBayO...987Montauk (last three photos)

I've often thought about putting one behind the helm but figured I might trip over it? When I saw the prices of these matts at BoaterWorld I just didn't think I needed one that bad...Having read this thread and Gary Sr's response, I'll be going to Home Depot today for the $15 4 pack, thanks Gary!

I have been looking at dri deck. I was concerned about bare feet. Has anyone used it with bare feet and found it ok for the day?

John -

I think it is fine but it is a personal thing. Suggest you get a square or two and try it out.
