Boat had horrible domestic (Red) carpet which luckily caught diesel

I took it all out and found only floorboard underneath, painted grey.

I would like to put something on the floor and am inclined toward sisal,
but edging might be a problem(?)

Anyone done something like this?


I've seen what I believe you are referring to as "sisal" pads in
freight elevators and the edges were finished by sewing a "binding",
for want of a better word, a narrow piece of contrasting colored cloth
folded around the edge, which appeared to be to prevent the "sisal"
from unraveling.
