I bought the actual Sevylor floorboard as well so I'm standing on something solid at all times, not just the squishy floor. Gives me something to lay the fish on and a safe place for the hook. The camo boat boot gives an extra layer of protection as well from running over sticks in the water, etc. It's a very durable material, almost like a thick plastic or something. Definitely worth the peace of mind out there. Worse case scenario the boat is dual chambered so if the outer chamber pops I'll still be able to float back in without sinking.
