Cockpit paint

I have a fiberglass cockpit deck that I have been painting with Awlgrip for 4 years. We do a lot of fishing and the paint takes a beating. Looking for something that will hold up better. How about a material called "Gator Grip"? Any answers will be appreciated.

I have a charter boat in cabo and I used a product called Kiwi grip and after 2000 hrs of running in one year the stuff still looks great and the grip is still there.

It was very easy to work with. No 2 part mixing and it cleans up with soap and water. It goes on over just about anything. Kipp Creed is about to use it on his boat. He has been down here to cabo twice and seen it on my boat and he loved it.
here is there website http://www.pachena.com
the lines on the deck was a bit difficult but the end result was well worth it

Here's some pics of the install in my boat

Fished on Mike's boat in Cabo,and was very impressed with the non-skid. Picked up "Targeted Species" yesterday from John Cranston's buddy,Salvadore. He painted the foredeck and cockpit with Kiwi Grip, and was impressed, also. I'll try to post pics,soon.
