    Question Hydro Turf ?

    I am looking to install some in my aluminum boat. Where did you get yours? Any pointers? Thanks

    Truck bed liner would be easier to clean and it won't look worn after a few months.

    I had an aluminum boat with a spray on liner.
    In 1995 my friend started a spray on liner place and was trying to get into boats.
    I sold the boat a few weeks ago and the liner was still in great shape for 22 yr old
    job.

    ....just don’t do the DYI roll on liner. The previous owner did this to my tin. While it is relatively easy to clean, it is kinda rough on your rods/reels. I’m not sure I like the looks as well. I’m thinking on going back to carpet or the vinyl on the front and back decks but keeping the liner in the floor area.

    Yeah Bedliner is rough to keep you from slipping.
    I kind of learned the hard way the first coat did not have rubber rough stuff in it.
    You would slip like walking on ice.
    It is rough but lasted 22 yrs.

    I have a roll in paint( Cabelas) now but think that I am going to switch to the hydro turf. Easier on the feet and my reels.

    Love the hydro-turf in my Xpress. I was going to buy it from Supreme Outboard Services in Franklin and do it myself, but Lloyd quoted me a price with installation that was too good to pass up. Highly recommend the crew at SOS!

    Just got two sheets of the 45”x 84. One sheet looks perfect the other has some a small scuff.
