I love Safe Floor and won't own a boat without it. It's durable, hides dirt well and cleans up easily. And it's super non-slip. To clean it you can bleach it and pressure wash it with no problem. It can also be repaired easily. if somehow you have a problem it can be scraped up, color matched and patched back up and you can't even tell. Brandon stands behind his product really well. If you have an issue he'll fix it. Great guy and he's become a good friend of mine.
If you want an estimate give him a call. Brandon Harper- 832-837-4818
And if you fish the Matagorda area they do come to town a few times a year and do installs in a shop in Matagorda. You don't have to town your boat in to them, but you do have to wait until they line up several boats to do while they are down.

No, I have not been going barbless. You can, won't hurt anything. And we have lost a few trout to getting hooked in the gill but I don't think a barbless hook would make much difference there. They bleed like crazy and that's what kills them. But it has been very few. I also don't tell people they can't keep trout. I encourage but I also tell folks if they want to keep a few to eat that is totally ok too. And we have kept a few. But just for perspective I have cleaned maybe 20-25 trout this whole year. Maybe. That would have been just one trip last year. And we are dang near half way through the year. If we kill a few because of having barbs on our hooks we are still way ahead of what we were doing in the past. AND we are WAAAY ahead of a whole bunch of the other guides and outfitters who talked all the conservation talk when they thought it was beneficial for their image and then have killed every dang trout they have caught all year ever since.

Never mind the lack of editing on what may actually be wrote. I think 8th graders write the articles.

it is not as soft and cushy as the foam flooring options. It is much tougher and doesn't peel up though. I had seadek on a poling skiff and I didn't like it nearly as much, even though it is softer on bare feet. It was much harder to keep clean, peeled up around the edges and the stuff I had would get cut with a pressure washer if you got the nozzle too close. Safe floor isn't like that. And you can't just repair a small piece of the seadek and you can with safe floor.
It's not terrible on bare feet but it is not cushy like foam. One thing that is nice when you are barefoot is if the deck is getting hot you can pour water on safe floor and it'll hold just enough water to stay cool without drying up quickly. I don't ever fish barefoot so I don't really care if it's squishy soft. I want tough and non-skid and I like how it hides dirt. I rinse mine daily and pressure wash it about once a week, bleach it and pressure wash it about once a month.
