Did my Willie with Marine Vinyl from Cabelas. It
s got a really rough finish and has lasted well so far. Glue it on the wood with contact cement. The roll on stuff does nothing but make a big mess. The previous owner of my boat had used it and it was a b!tch to clean up. Another alternative that I've seen Willie and others start to do is aluminum diamond plate. They use around 1/8th thick stuff and rivet it down on top of the wood. Coho just had his done on his Koffler. I'll go this way next time mine needs to be replaced.
