With my season over at year 8 I have accumulated 1,700 hrs on my Fishmaster. Launching at Converse where it's not paved in the staging (Parking area) above there can be a lot of small tiny stones / sand on shoes brought into the boat. I vacuum this area about every 2-3 trips and then finish by mopping with a rag and bucket to get the leftover stuff plus the dirty haze from traffic. This helps in preventing the stones and sand from grinding and wearing the grippy floor to the point it's visibly smooth and slippery from foot traffic. 1,700 hrs after year 8 is probably the equivalent of 25 years for the average fisherman. Selling boats for 14 years I have seen plenty of used fishing boats come in with very visible worn floors for us to sell on consignment or in for service.
I also pressure wash it 2-3 times a year in addition. Reminds me of the old expression "about eating off a floor" LOL
