I am not a fan of checker board. Climb in with wet feet.....

Yep, just heated with a hair dryer to make it more plyable and stuck it directly to the floor. It has torn in a couple of places now though but easily repaired.

+ 1 on the grip tape. Those aluminium boards are lethal in the wet.

Aluminium tread plate (checker board) coated with UBS-100 (a part sticky rubber, part gritty sand type coating) is an excellent non-slip surface for both wet and dry. Any untreated or uncovered surface (aluminium, mild-steel or otherwise) is ill-advised in the wet.
