Thread: Aluminum boat floor

Hydro turf works wonder we have it in our gator tail boat it stays Cool in the summer and the mud washes right off during the hunting season

Wear shoes is all I know to do

Shoes, sandles, flip-flops, bucket of lake water dumped on floor... OR put on of them fancy umbrella thingies like ABH has in his boat, that might shade the floor, thus lowering the temp... OR night fish.

Get carpet and cut to lay in the floor.

I have the same floor in my boat. I keep 4 or 5 carpet squares in my truck that I throw in the floor of the boat when I'm fishing in the summer. It's already hot on the deck of my boat. Once I put the carpet squares down, I soak them down with water and I'm good to go for several hours. An umbrella overhead does not hurt.

A fishing buddy of mine found some camp neoprene covers for the bottom of the boat and the front deck. They keep the bottom cool enough to go bare foot. I'm not sure where he got them.

Anti fatigue mat ... It is a mat designed to stand on ... Like the cashiers do at wal mart ...A long time bowfisherman put me on it .... My problem was after we killed 50-60 fish it would be so slick it would be impossible to stand on!!! Here are a few pics of my "ugly" crappie/bowfishing boat
