I have blue... It gets a bit warm but not intolerable. I like it because its not slippery when wet and looks pretty good.

We've had good luck with indoor-outdoor carpet. If you cut it really snug, it stays in place pretty well. Don't use rubber-backed carpet!

We bought our Sea-raider with green indoor outdoor carpet that had button snaps to the floor. Unfortunately it wasn't on too much with the amount of wrenching we did! :)
