dance a jig

Beautiful boat with lots of usable space. Is there info about deadrise at entry and stern? Based on photos above, i would think aft deck would be slippery as i can imagine my foot landing between the non-slip adhesive strips when deck is wet, and down i go. Why don't aluminum boat builders use a checkerplate aluminum pattern https://www.checker-plate.org/checker-plate/checker-plate-flooring.html or other pattern or etching that would promote secure footing? Also, why do some aluminum boat builders use wood covered with a vinyl non-slip product? Perhaps just a cost thing, but a dance floor on a boat like this is not that much real estate to escalate costs very much in such a critical area. Walker looks like they paid the price for shiny plate aluminum, but from my perspective, shiny = slippery. just some thoughts. DAJ
