Re: Re-doing aluminum boat, need ideas
Was considering the rhino liner myself on an 18' aluminum boat (reduce noise, lower heat of metal, etc..). Saw the comment that the rhino liner sucked. Was wondering what the problems are?

Re: Re-doing aluminum boat, need ideas
Ron, I talked to the folks at Capital Hitch about spraying a boat. They said they wouldn't do it. They said they did 1 boat, and the customer brought it back, wanting to know if it could be removed. The customer said the boat was too hot to fish out of with the liner in it.
What was I supposed to do today?

You can buy the same vinyl from cabelas and basspro that they use on the G3, polar kraft....it's a non slip. It is very hard.
I would think seadeck might be more comfortable on your feet and when you got down on your knees.
I like the carpet on mine. I have decided to wear it out a little longer, until chunks are blowing out going down the road.
Even though I use it in salt, I may still use carpet in some areas. But the seadeck looks like it could be good.

I put the Hydroturf in the floor of my new boat. So far, so good.
What was I supposed to do today?

Re: Re-doing aluminum boat, need ideas
It's a fiberglass boat but I've been thinking about putting seadek on mine, at least behind the console to try and cushion it some. It's gonna be bad when I finally do get old.
