[Caleb.Smith]

Another boat maintenance day this time tackling a new product called Kiwi Grip, a boat carpet alternative. Check out the install and let me know if you would give it a try.

Word is it's hard to clean.

Havent got that far yet but I imagine soap and water will do the trick.

should have done a darker color or at least gray, this is why line-x told me they don't recommend plain white.

I didn’t want to go dark as it absorbs heat and would be hot on the feet. But I did order grey just thought it would have been a tad darker

Looks nice but, For that small of an area you should have considered using Hydro-Turf.

It was #2 on my list. Only difference was the price point. It would have been 3x the price.

Looks Great ! Nice job

Harder than shampooing and extracting a carpet?

Great video and well done. Please give us updates as time goes by so we can see how well this product cleans up and wears.

Love the banner on the back wall!

Nice job with the video! I've got a Ranger of similar vintage that needs carpet, and I'm really wanting to do something different in the console area since the carpet down there holds so much water and, as you sort of mention in your video, that area receives so much wear and tear. This will definitely be something I consider when the time comes.

So that's the gray color and it's just that light, or is it that you ordered the gray and decided to go with white instead due to not wanting the heat from the gray? If that's the gray, I'll probably be looking elsewhere for a solution.

Thanks for sharing!

Yes that is the grey. I expected it to be a little darker but to me it looks white. I'm certain you can take it to any hardware store and have tint added to it to accomplish the desired color.

It can be tinted with water base tint to what ever you want.

Looks like a cool product but you really need to balance the volume between the obnoxious music and your speaking portions. You have to crank it up to hear what you are saying and then get blasted with techno music. Very hard to watch.

How does it feel on your feet when your running around barefoot on it?

[bobh4656]

It looks fine but I'd be it doesn't offer the cushion that carpet does.. To me that's the only downside.

Feels good barefoot, the texture has a soft gummy feeling to it. I wouldn't want to stand on it all day though.
