    No slip boarding tread

    1983 LRC does anyone have a source for the plastic step pads port and stbd? I thought I could replicate with Starboard but the anti-skid material starts at 1/2” (too thick)

    King Starboard comes in 1/4". The "Sea Foam" color is close to Hatteras off white.

    Yes King Starboad does but not the Anti-Slip version (King AS) which I only find in 1/2” minimum.

    I have no starboard on my boat. I hate that stuff. This is a Hatteras. If you want non-skid, get it done with paint as it was done originally.

    Starboard is great for so many things.

    It's a great material for cutting boards at cockpit bait station.

    It's an awesome coaster material too.

    It's a good insulator for keeping items isolated when mounting to metal.

    Nothing sticks to it except dirt. It's not good for dealing with other materials at all.

    Other than the cutting board teak is far better.

    Or you can buy the 1/2" material and re-saw it on a band saw.......But I like Sky's suggestion better.

    I’m not sure how much area you need to nonskid, but we used the the black rubber step pads with the stainless trim for the cockpit boarding step and the cockpit steps. On the decks we used a Totalboat product from Jamestown Distributors (pre-mixed). Worked out great held up really well, was non-skid without the harsh grit.....
