just had a new boat built and looking for an alternative to carpet for the floor, seen this product diamond deck, has anyone on here used it and if so what's your opinion, alternatively can anyone recommend another product.

I have some on my trailer
I have some on my trailer mudguards as I have slipped on them a couple of times climbing up into the boat it has solved the problem.
Also have a bit forward of the anchor well to cushion under the chain (dam deckys). Is a good product but how it goes with getting little bits of bait etc in the joins (albeit they would be very small joins) I couldn't tell you.

My worry would be water
My worry would be water getting trapped underneath. I would guess that it wouldn't pose so much of a problem because it is stick down but remember that it is a gamble and it does cost alot of $ as opposed to marine lay down carpet which you can remove and clean. Reed matting is also an option but is also just as costly as the diamond decking, maybe a couple hundred less but more practical in the fact that water does wash away under it to the scuppers.
I recently built a new boat and also considered the diamond decking but in the end chose removable marine carpet as it is cheaper and easier under foot.
